if there are no drugs, they'll just plant some.

Your 4th amendment rights are infringed every time you go thru security at an airport. THINK ABOUT IT.

[LADjsim]

@sweetelesue well hajji kinda ruined that for everybody...

[galathonredd]

@darkblood626 No you don't. Look up Phillip Mocek v. New Mexico TSA, or John Tyner, for just a few of the names of people who've faced the TSA in court over these BS practices and won.

The TSA does not overrule the Fourth Amendment. You have a right not to be searched. You might not get on your plane... but you don't have to be searched.

@DavidForthoffer

whoops My bad I made a mistake in articulation, it was supposed to be

By entering the airport security area you consent to the search.

[DavidForthoffer]

@darkblood626: You do not consent to a search by simply entering the airport.

The process of BOARDING an airplane is subject to TSA searches, which you can decline by not boarding.

The process of boarding or leaving an INTERNATIONAL flight means the U.S. Customs & Border Patrol are allowed to search you without your consent, and you cannot decline the search.

But aside from those two kinds of searches, you have full Fourth Amendment protections.

[darkblood626]

@sweetelesue No because by entering the airport you consent to a search.

check out flex your rights.

[DavidForthoffer]

If the police get a warrant to search your house by swearing about particular evidence that indicates probable cause that you have contraband in your home, and search your home and do not find contraband, the government has NOT necessarily violated your rights. It all depends on whether the evidence DID provide probable cause of criminal involvement.

[DavidForthoffer]

Although he is precisely correct when he says "unreasonable" is the key word, he is wrong when he says they have to have probable cause. If a search is reasonable, they do not NEED probable cause, or a warrant, or consent.

[DavidForthoffer]

He uses deceitful logic when he claims that your person is your property, your house is your property, your papers are your property, your effects are your property together means that all your property is protected by the 4th Amendment.

That's like saying A is in set X, B is in set X, C is in set X, and D is in set X, so E is in set X, too.

Duh! Not!
