Threaten to sue the TSA personally for violating your rights.

I suppose it should say TSA agent...

Just need one wealthy guy who has the time to file the first law suit, and at the same time get an injunction to stop the procedure until the case is decided.

If you are a suspected terrorist you have no constitutional rights ! So who do
you plan on suing and based upon what ?

You have the 9/11/01 scam to thank !

They would have to actually charge you with a terrorist related crime, and because they can't that won't happen. And if they did when you had done nothing you can sue them for false imprisonment etc.

Patriot Act

You are overlooking the point, these people are not considered terrorists and still have their Constitutional rights. And many parts of the are still being challenged in the court system.

I think only members can embed.

If two or more agents talk together is that conspiracy to deny ones rights? Where was that video posted???? In the south some guy indicated that there was a conspiracy to deny a persons civil rights based on some old ... I don't know.

Good point! This has been established already in the court system, so it would be easy to cite case law to back up a person's lawsuit.

DON'T FLY....unless you were born with wings!

No.. you don't need a wealthy guy.. anyone can do this in small claims court.. for about $25.. I've successfully sued a dentist.. Bank of America.. and The Connecticut labor board.. won every case.. All cases were heard.. all settled out of court..

The Only Rights given to Suspects are the following: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.”

People need to wake up to the system.. You don't need a lawyer to sue.. and you are much better off without one.. Lawyers and Judges are all on the same team.. There is nothing more powerful and dangerous than a Pro Se citizen in court..

You don't sue the TSA.. you sue the airport.. The TSA is in the employ of the airport..

Equifax successfully sued in small claims court... [link to www.canadian-money-advisor.ca]

Sue them all!! It's the American way.

But suing the airport is a good idea too, it would make them want to eliminate the illegal procedure after losing in court. Because without a doubt this falls within in definition of 'unreasonable search'.

CONCLUSION

[38] The Plaintiff is awarded damages as follows:

1. $448.00 for loss of billable hours;
2. $4,500.00 as punitive or exemplary damages;
3. $50.00 as costs of issuing the summons.

They would probably play the National Security card.

yeah that's gonna work out real well. You'd be in the slammer in about 5 minutes with an 11,000 fine and another 10-20k in legal fees.

The TSA is under DHS not any airports.

TSA can be fired and replaced by the airport.. they are the most direct defendants..so STFU

No, the TSA can't be fired by an airport nor replaced. LMAO


"The TSA was created as part of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act passed by the U.S. Congress, and signed into law by President George W. Bush on November 19, 2001. Originally organized in the U.S. Department of Transportation, the TSA was moved to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 25, 2003."

"The TSA was created by the federal government in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Prior to its creation, security screening was operated by private companies that had contracts with either an airline or a consortium contracted by multiple airlines that used a given terminal facility."

Sorry but airports can no more fire or replace the TSA than they can the FAA.

Yes, they can. Conduct your due diligence. They are on contract with the airports, and the airports can fire them and hire private contractors.

[link to washingtonexaminer.com]

"The 2001 law creating the TSA gave airports the right to opt out of the TSA program in favor of private screeners after a two-year period."

.

Take a deep breath and then slowly read the sentenece below again. Assuming you read it the first time.

"Prior to its creation, security screening was operated by private companies that had contracts with either an airline or a consortium contracted by multiple airlines that used a given terminal facility."

"With the arrival of the TSA, private screening did not disappear completely. Private security firms were approved by the TSA to provide security, but under the authority of the TSA.[2] Under the TSA's Screening Partnership Program"

They are still in charge and can not be "fired".

"So… if an airport applies and is accepted into the SPP program, they receive the same screening from a private company instead of TSA officers. That’s the only difference. All commercial airports are regulated by TSA whether the actual screening is performed by TSA or private companies. So TSA’s policies – including advanced imaging technology and pat downs – are in place at all domestic airports."

Doesn't matter if it's the TSA or a private company, the procedures being used are unconstitutional as unreasonable searches. By suing the person directly who violated your rights will make the bozos think twice about if they want the job that bad.

This could possibly be an angle somebody could take.

This one would work too.
