TSA = Totalitarian, Sadistic Agents?

For anyone who's ever had to deal with an unreasonable TSA agent, here is some good news:

A federal judge in June threw out seizure of three fake passports from a traveler, saying that TSA screeners violated his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure. Congress authorizes TSA to search travelers for weapons and explosives; beyond that, the agency is overstepping its bounds, U.S. District Court Judge Algenon L. Marbley said.

Finally, we have a judge who does his job--keeping the government in check when it unreasonably and arbitrarily exercises power over American citizens. Maybe now TSA agents will focus on doing their job--searching for weapons, explosives, and other harmful items--instead of acting like Interpol officers.

Also, if you haven't heard about what happened to Steven Bierfeldt, google his name and do some reading.

Bonus: here is comic writer Mark Sable's deliciously ironic TSA experience.
