The Libertarian Alternative–Airport Security

Imagine me traveling with a CPAP machine, special soap and a bottle of distilled water. Every goon in the place has to run his or her fingers all over the stuff that I strap onto my face...

I keep reminding myself that our Savior endured with humility the stuff that we would run from, and do likewise.

 

Imagine the joy people like this guy must be feeling having practically absolute power over someone else life.

 

Ben Guiron Airport in Israel does a splendid job.

 

Here's your flaw in the logic: This just happened. There hasn't been time for a court case to work its way forward. It wouldn't matter what action you're talking about. A court doesn't rule on it an hour after it happens.

However, time and time again, unreasonable searches without any probable cause have been ruled unconstitutional. Key word: unreasonable.

Is patting down a 13 year-old girl, including touching her privates, reasonable?

Is harrassing an 80 year-old wheelchair-bound white male, including asking him to stand up, reasonable?

Once the courts have sufficient time to process the many suits, I think this will all be made abundantly clear.

Meanwhile, I see no reason that folks cannot speak out against unjust actions.

 

Simple, elegant solution...

Place a device inside a bomb-proof booth, and set it to detonate any explosive matter. Walk all ticketed flyer's through the booth.

I can hear the announcements now... "Cleanup in booth #6, send maintenance with a shop vac." "Passengers, please note, there is an available seat for flight number..."

 

Or nude flights. The airline issues throwaway jump suits for use until one's baggage is claimed.
