All the groups in the world could come together and protest this and it would do nothing more than tilt at the windmill. This is about control, not security. No court, except for maybe the 9th Circuit, would hold these Unconstitutional. This is perhaps GWB's greatest mistake as president, allowing a government takeover of transportation security.
