Uhhh, yes it has.
US v. Davis:
And the 4th amendment only protects you against being searched against your will, except in the case of alleged criminal action. An airport search is not against your will. By choosing to fly, you are choosing to be searched. You can easily choose not to be searched by choosing another mode of transportation. That's not unlawful.
It's the same thing as having the right to free speech, but it being illegal to yell FIRE! in a crowded room. It's not about your individual right, it's about endangering the safety of the larger population.
Are you stupid? You honestly think the government is stepping out of line by having strict safety regulations before sending 100 people thousands of feet in the air in tons of metal? You're probably right though, I'd be much more willing to blow up than I would to let someone pat me down for a couple minutes.
haha dumbshit
This IS about the 4th amendment, and this IS about the right for me to not be searched. The basic premise that there is even a terrorist threat is a lie to begin with. Terrorism has been manufactured by the people who want to justify occupation in the middle east. You cant occupy a region without an enemy. In this case, the enemy are muslims. It is very similar to our involvement in Vietnam where Communism was used as an enemy. "Fear" is a tactic used to control the masses. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan is a BIG FAT FUCKING LIE. It all has to do with oil currencies, that being the 'petro dollar'
Henry Kissinger represented the IMF and went to the oil producing nations and offered them a deal to help them with modern technology to extract their oil more efficiently. In exchange, they had to only sell their oil to the US dollar. What this did was allowed the U.S. to dominate the sale of oil. So non-oil producing developed nations NOW had to sell their goods and services to the U.S. to acquire those precious dollars in order to purchase their oil. It is a scam, and if you dont believe it, look up "petro dollar" and read about it yourself!
These so called terrorist threats are a hoax. And THATS why this little girl should not have been searched, or anybody else, should be subjected to this form of abuse. For those of you who want to justify this kind of behavior, maybe you should read the Constitution and learn what freedom and liberty is all about.
