Travelling today with kids: My message to the TSA

I wont make a big deal if we go through old metal detectors, but I will have to make a last minute judgement about making a stink to go through porno-scanners or agreeing to have my wife, 4 year old or 9 year old daughters going through a pat-down.  I am ready to make a stink about it, but I would hate to miss a trip.  I really need to get away for the holiday after all of the post accident stress I have gone through.

This is the text of the two pages of printed material I am putting on top of our clothes in each suitcase:

PAGE 1

TSA:  YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO SEARCH THE LUGGAGE OF THIS CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES!

IF YOU SWORE AN OATH TO THE US CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, START BY LOOKING IN THE MIRROR, AND THEN REMIND YOURSELF:

Ninth Amendment

The enumeration in the Constitution,

Of certain rights,

Shall not be construed to deny or

Disparage others retained by the People…

PAGE 2

I RETAIN MY RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN THIS MATTER. 

PLEASE NOTE: I DON’T CARE IF YOU XRAY OR SWAB THIS SUITCASE.

Fourth Amendment

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.

PAGE 3

YOU HAVE NO PERMISSION, WARRANT, OR PROBABLE CAUSE TO SEARCH MY BELONGINGS!

THE OPENING OF THIS SUITCASE IS IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE 4^TH AMENDMENT AND THEREFORE YOUR OATH TO UPHOLD THE US CONSTITUTION.

THINK ABOUT IT.
