The Transportation security Administration (TSA) is...

The Fourth Amendment is rather specific in its wording: â€Å"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† (www.law.cornell.edu). The importance of this amendment is for all citizens to be able to protect their homes/persons from illegal intrusion from the law. This does not mean squat to many police officers, district attorneys, and even judges. How could a person who takes an oath to uphold the law violate the constitution and have no problems†¦show more content†¦The federal government assured the public that pictures would not be recorded and saved from these machines. That is not the case. The scanner that was uses in a Florid courthouse showed the actual â€Å"people side-by -side with their X-rayed selves† (Allahpundit). Why did the government outright lie to the public? To save their own asses, of course. This is in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment. The amendment gives people the right to be secure in their persons against unreasonable searches. I believe the scanning of humans and taking pictures of their faces violates this. Shockingly, former TSA security director, Mo McGowan, openly stated on fox news that â€Å"Nobody likes to have their 4th Amendment violated going through a security line, but the truth of the matter is, we’re going to have to do it† (Left Coast Rebel). Excuse me? Did this man actually say this in public? It’s not shocking that he’s no longer the security director. On his website, a Utah DUI Attorney, David Rosenbloom speaks about violations of the Fourth Amendment. He states that police officers â€Å"pay little attention to the fourth amendment†¦ [because] it is not a self-enforcing right, such as the freedom of speech† (Rosenbloom). In short, if a citizen believes his or her rights were violated and they were illegally searched/things were seized from them, they must â€Å"ask a court to examine the case and apply the fourthShow MoreRelatedTerrorism Has Plagued The World2529 Words   |  11 Pagesthrough many forms since the age of time, it wasn’t until the hijacking of 1972 that caused airports both domestically and internationally to establish airport security. From one of the first major terrorist attacks on an aircraft in 1955 to the multiple attacks throughout the 1960s and 70s, for the first time airports were introduced to armed security guards, metal detectors, and explosive detection canines.
