I don't think it works like that. I wouldn't want to be the test case on that one.

Even if it does work like that, I wouldn't want to be the test case.

T.S.A. officials respond that the random searches are “special needs” or “administrative searches” that are exempt from probable cause because they further the government’s need to prevent terrorist attacks.

They are exempt until someone challenges them in court.

I really wish we didn't have to wait for "harm" or whatever the legal standard is to sue to have a law declared unconstitutional.

Edit: Actually, I take it back... I really wish those in authority would consider issues like this and not pass laws or implement policies that wouldn't pass constitutional muster in the first place.
