quote:
You are really confused, when you buy a ticket, it is a privilege, a contractual agreement. To exercise that privilege you must abide by the set rules of those with whom you have the contract that in buying the ticket you agree to. How you can possibly tie this to a civil rights issue leads me to believe you are a bit deluded in your thinking. Protest whatever it is your little pea picking heart desires, you have that right, but do not confuse "right" with privilege. You have the right to free speech, you have the right not to buy a ticket from an airline that will not make you go through a TSA screening, it is called chartering a private plane, at a small airport. If you wish to Fly Southwest, Delta, American etc. you get screened as part of buying the privilege to your seat. Aside from all of that, your comparison of TSA screening the civil rights of balcks is a bit laughable! Fourth Amendment and ensure that each person enjoys the right “to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures” — a right which the U.S. Constitution mandates “shall not be violated.” Now you can say they also have a right to implement law that says different..They do but to play dirty like that where they have no jurisdiction is bullshit. I think what this is really about is the usual problem..They want to control what goes on in every state and in every home of that state..so much so that they'd be willing to shut down a states transportation in order to do it. What I have a right for is to not be blocked against flying because I refuse to give up my fourth amendment constitutional rights..under those I still have a right to fly. if by going against those is an attack on them. Truthfully though, I pay taxes so that those fuckers at the airport can afford to keep their airports open or at least they've most likely taken bailout money at one time or another. So why then is it a privilege and why should I let them touch my wille?[:D] I get the bit about they have a right to decline people..They own the company..just like I own my business and I have a right to refuse people but it even that has limitations. You're so used to the being told what you can and can't do that you've lost what it means to be free, I think.
