look at it this way.
If I say "President Smith is a stupid @*(@ #$%$% **&(( *(%^*" the federal government has no right to challenge me at all.
however, my employer can fire me for saying something that is not in keepign with thier private standards.
the same with the TSA. a private company can demand a far more strict search standard than the federal government can. the government must have probable cause. a company can say "if you fly with us, you have to submit to this search"
what we have right now is a very strange brew. it is a govenment/private company hybred that fails the sniff test.
that is very bad and dangerous to the republic.
but even more importantly, there are better methods of finding the bad guys. that is what bothers me.

Let's assume you work for the TSA and a federal security directive is issued for a certain procedure that is invasive. The directive is issued because of creditable threats. Do you now have probable cause to become more invasive?
