Suing the TSA

Colorado attorney Gary Fielder thinks that both full-body scans and enhanced pat-downs at the airport are a violation of his rights. Calling the pat-downs "disgusting, unconscionable, sexual in nature, unnecessary and a complete violation of his and his children's constitutional rights," Fielder's suit seeks both to enjoin the TSA from screening him without his express permission, and to require them to "immediately remedy the Fourth Amendment defects in their security policies and procedures."

The court docket, including the full complaint, can be found at Justia.

This is not the first or only lawsuit to be filed against the TSA or its employees:
