From Politico: The second bill would permit travelers to opt out of pat-downs and be rescreened, allow them to call a lawyer when detained, increase the role of dogs in explosive detection, let passengers “appropriately object to mistreatment,” allow children 12 years old and younger to avoid “unnecessary pat-downs” and require the distribution of the new rights at airports.
Again I ask, why not simply take a stand on this little bit of language from the Supreme Law of the Land: 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.
The answer: Because even guys like Rand Paul want the power to pick & choose who, what, where, when and how on every topic.
The good Senator from Kentucky and the loins of the Congressman from Texas is no friend of Liberty.
Here's the entire piece.
