Body scanners and pat-downs are supposed to make passengers safer by detecting devices that could bring down an airplane.
But the federal government’s latest, more-intrusive screening measures appear more useful in finding drugs and wads of cash than tools of terror, a review of Indianapolis Airport Police records suggests.
The Federal Government has turned airport security into a police checkpoint that is able to do warrantless searches just because it claims that the TSA isn't with law enforcement powers. Sure, just like social services folks claimed they could do search and seizure without a warrant. These are bogus arguments.
