TSA pat-downs.

[Hoosier]

I'm going to refer to the machine as the DMD, see if the agent's face tells that they understand. Apparently, it's the nickname for them.

I'm wondering if I can get away with flipping a bit of finger?

Back in the dark corners of my mind that spawn ideas when stuff I'm doing at work does not require much thought.

Yesterday, the one it came up with was, *if* the airlines and airports had come up with a TSA like security system

on their own, with no government assistance or dictates at all. Completely private, would there still be the furor?

it would never fly
Could you imagine if a NON-Federal agent had groped a 3 year old child while she is screaming "don't touch me!"?

and as I understand it the airports have the option of implementing their own private security measures in lieu of the TSA System after the initial 2 years

it's our tax dollars that will pay any settlement

Lawsuits aren't always about monetary settlements. This can simply be a case of suing the feds because they have violated the constitution...so the courts say they can no longer use body scanners or pat downs unless they have reasonable suspicion that a person is hiding something deadly. Of course, either way, our tax dollars would pay the federal lawyers defending the case...

I can't think of a more worthy way to spend my tax money, than to protect my rights.
