Texas Gov adds anti-groping bill to special session
Gov. Rick Perry announced he had added legislation that would make it illegal for TSA agents to engage in “intrusive touching” at airports security checkpoints without probable cause to the list of items for the legislature to consider during the special session. The measure had previously failed to muster enough support in the Texas Senate to come up for a vote because the Justice Department wrote a scathing memo against the bill, which threatened legal action against the state, and the measure… (blog.chron.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
How sophmoric.
So, take your off topic argument off this thread. Go grind your axes somewhere else! My dad's bigger than your dad is for middle schoolers.
Ignore the ignorant, Grady.
I feel like I'm arguing with a man resting on a bed of straws who keeps having them pulled from underneath him, one by one.
Happy now? Yes. Even the lawyer with a career in aviation law couldn't defend the current state of affairs in Aviation Security.

"The argument that airlines don't want to take on the risk doesn't make sense in this context. Airlines could avoid taking the risk of terrorism by hiring private contractors to do the screening, who would in turn be liable that the passengers were 'sterile'"
Did you ever hear of vicarious liability?
I get the feeling that I am arguing with a high school student who keeps grabbing at straws.
OK, you win. The airlines should do it all, TSA shut down, government out of everything to do with aviation, kill the FAA, fly where and when you want, whenever you want and forget all about screening and security. Happy now? You win. I'm done.

Okay yes- I agree with you. I am sorry I wrote '100% risk'. Airlines should not be responsible for ATC negligance in IMC. The national airspace system is governed by the FAA, who has responsibility to maintain it properly. But I am sure airlines would like to have someone else running the national airspace system other than the FAA. (Someone who would finally invest in NextGen!)
But what does it matter whether the airlines want to take on the risk of terrorism? Southwest didn't want to take on the risk of fuel price fluctuations, so they entered into a long term contract to purchase fuel. Airlines don't want to take on full risk of weather cancellations, so their pool their risk by code-sharing flights. Airlines don't want to take risk of mechanical problems, so they buy insurance.

Also if the airlines could prove that the governemnt was negligent in letting the person immigrate to America, or the FBI/CIA should've caught them long ago - the Airline might also mitigate the liability.
