TSA Orders Searches of Valet Parked Car At Airport

Posted by Soulskill on Friday July 19, 2013 @02:15AM from the one-step-forward,-one-step-back dept.

schwit1 writes "Laurie Iacuzza walked to her waiting car at the Greater Rochester International Airport after returning from a trip and that's when she found it — a notice saying her car was inspected after she left for her flight. She said, 'I was furious. They never mentioned it to me when I booked the valet or when I picked up the car or when I dropped it off.' Iacuzza's car was inspected by valet attendants on orders from the TSA."

Nonsense. The problem here is using a third, private party to elide the Fourth Amendment.

Didn't you notice who's doing the searching? by scotts13 · 2013-07-19 02:24 · Score: 5, Interesting

According to the article, the valets themselves. Mot TSA agents, minimum wage, no-background-check valets. They're the last people to be in the car, and they decide where to park them. Anyone else see the two glaring problems here?
