That's how I recall it too. I'm not saying that private security would necessarily be better, but it wouldn't violate the 4th. And if different companies did it differently, I could base my selection of airport or airline by which kinds of security they used.

maybe i'm confusing my international travels but I do recall some invasive searches after the Lockerbie incident.
I can't do anything about what goes on in other countries. I can't vote there. I can vote here, at least.

that was Bernard Getz and that was the subway in the middle of the night. Colin was during rush hour on the way home.
Yeah, that sounds right. I'd've given Getz a medal and dropped the matter. (shakes head, grimacing)
