You accept my concept of consent if you buy an airline ticket because it is part of the terms and conditions you legally agree to by purchasing the ticket - read the fine print.
I guess the rest we will have to agree to disagree.
I read the contract of carriage for all the major carriers and none of them require you to consent to a search. Only American says you
may be denied boarding if you refuse complete the TSA security procedures.
It's on the actual tickets. Wife is flying later this month and it is clearly stated in the package she received.
This is from Delta Ts&Cs
"permit search of person or property for explosives, weapons, dangerous materials, or other prohibited items."
You're right, I missed that. Technically it's not a consent to search, just notification that you may be denied boarding if you refuse.
My problem with the TSA searches is that once you start them...according to them, you cannot back out. So if you don't like the direction its going (i.e. groping)...you can't end it...so they say. The one guy who did back out when they were going to touch his "junk" never had anything happen.
