“The problem with T.S.A. stopping and searching people in public places outside the airport is that there are no real legal standards, or probable cause. It’s something that is easily abused because the reason that they are conducting the stops is shrouded in secrecy.”- Khaliah Barnes, Administrative Law Counsel, Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. T.S.A. officials respond that the random searches are “special needs” or “administrative searches” that are exempt from probable cause because they further the government’s need to prevent terrorist attacks.
