Jeffrey Rosen: TSA Pat-Downs And Body Scans Are Unconstitutional

Sunday, November 28, 2010


Actually, Americans ability to freely travel without government restriction is a Constitutional right.  Airlines operate in public air space that We, The People own, just as we own the air waves and what can be broadcast over them.  We give the airline industry broad or maximum operating freedom, and We The People subsidize the industry because we recognize the role that air travel plays in our economy.  

Not only have we paid through the nose to keep airlines afloat, we also passed the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act in response to a severe liquidity crisis facing the industry in the aftermath of 9/11, i.e., we were the insurer of the airline industry, to keep the planes flying.  We compensated airlines for both the cost of the 4-day federal shutdown of the airlines and the incremental losses incurred as a result of the terr0rist attacks.   

Why would you possibly defend the airline industry over your own Constitutional rights?
