You know that's EXACTLY what Barack Obama said: It's a list of "Negative Rights". It's doesn't specifically say what the Gov't can do to you". You agree with Barack Obama! I don't wanna' read about you criticizing him on this forum ANY MORE!Are you insane? You call yourself "Conservative" yet you agree with the Police State?
Do even you read what you type? "What right covers flying in an airplane?" you ask? Ever heard of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution?
A Police Officer can't search you just because you're flying to Miami from L.A. Why is the TSA allowed to?
I ask you: What LAW allows the TSA to search you? Tell us.
I made no comment on the TSA or searches. I specifically addressed your misguided notion that flying in and of itself is a right. it is not.
As for the 4th amendment, it doesn't apply...
Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I see nothing in the text of the 4th amendment that says you have a right to fly in a commercial, or even private plane.The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
You don't understand what the 4th Amendment is do you? It's like you never even READ it!
An unreasonable search is one where you stand in line to get on a plane but some H.S. dropout assumes you have a weapon or a bomb on you so you get searched. It's like you're in prison.
See, a REAL Police Officer, can't even put his hands on you unless he's detaining you with Reasonable Suspicion or Probable Cause. AND he has to be able to ARTICULATE (Put in in a report) the reasons for doing so.
Cop sees you swerving while driving and pulls you over. He smells alcohol on your breath and he does the field sobriety test which you fail.
His Reasonable Suspicion was you swerving.
His Probable Cause was you reeking of Alcohol.
Do you know what the Reasonable Suspicion and Probable Cause is for a TSA Clown to search you? You're getting on a f*ckin' airplane! That's all!
If you had ANY understanding of Constitution Law and Civil Liberties in this country you'd be OUTRAGED! You should change your login name to Ignorant Liberal, it fits you.
