Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Deal With Roving TSA Teams?
An anonymous reader writes "I live in Boston, and I have noticed the TSA performs random security checks at the Copley T (subway station) and other locations. I routinely travel with a laptop, iPhone, and other gadgetry. What are my rights when asked by one of the TSA agents to 'come over here'? Can I say no and proceed with my private business? What if a police officer says that I 'must go over there and cooperate'? Can I decline or ask for a warrant? Like the majority of the population, I turn into an absolute shrinking violet when pressured by intimidating authority, but I struggle with what I see to be blatant social devolution. Has anybody out there actually responded rationally, without complying? What were your experiences?"
"Ich bin just doing mein job!"
Yes, definitely forgive these people who hide behind the law as an excuse to violate people's Constitutional rights. These poor souls are not responsible at all.
Seriously, the world laughs at you, Americans! You always brag about defending freedom around the world but clearly you suck at that. The fact that the news don't speak of riots against people like the TSA clearly show you don't care about your rights. You just want to be victims and complain and get sympathy.
they can also assassinate you. thank you mr. obama, for showing not just old white guys can wipe their ass with the constitution.
