Nat Hentoff, a great defender of civil liberties, writes here about another absurd case where the TSA overreacted.
Actually, “overreaction” isn’t quite the right word. It implies that some reaction may have been in order, but what they did went too far. In this case, as with just about everything else involving the TSA, no reaction whatsoever was in order, but they arrested the individual for the horrible provocation of displaying the Fourth Amendment on his chest!
