Federal court rules TSA is immune from damage claims

Fliers may have a tough time recovering damages for invasive screenings at U.S. airport security checkpoints, after a federal appeals court on Wednesday said screeners are immune from claims under a federal law governing assaults, false arrests and other abuses. In a 2-1 vote, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia said Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screeners are shielded by government sovereign immunity from liability under the Federal Tort Claims Act because they do not function as "investigative or law enforcement officers."

They don’t go through your luggage, customs does.

I can see them not technically being LEO, because they have to call the real police anytime something happens, but they are absolutely an investigative agency. Their entire job is investigation.

That’s a relief. I enjoy a good groping at the airport.

So when they question me at pre-screening (Where are you going today?), I can just tell them to frick off? I get that they aren't full fledged gun-toting LEO's with arrest powers but there isn't any way you can tell me they don't serve an investigative / law enforcement function.

So US Customs searches bags on domestic flights and puts a paper inside saying TSA did?

Don’t care...

Interesting that Customs went through my bag when I flew from Nashville to LAX.

Certainly I do.
I’m not a target of opportunity.
I look like the antithesis of a threat.
