Russia terrorism against US bound airliners

4th Amendment, Bill of Rights.

(Penn & Teller used to sell a metal engraved version to keep in your pocket that you could give to the TSA when you "hand over your rights" after the metal detector beeped.)

Doesn't apply since there is no right to fly via private commercial carrier. TSA isn't depriving you of a liberty when they require you be subjected to screening. If the police decided to stop and search you randomly as you drove out of Colorado and into Kansas, then you'd be subject to unlawful search (assuming no warrant or probable cause), as they'd be denying your civil right to travel across state borders legally by means of your own personal vehicle.

Ummm. Back to the original topic. This should be a huge effing deal.

Saddam's ties to actual acts of terror was a lot shakier than this, and look what we did.

Also, assuming the plot worked, what's the end game? Further piss off and consolidate the west's resolve?

This makes no sense, even for Putin.

It's boundary pushing. He's discovered that he can keep carrying out these actions against the West without reprisal, so he's motivated to see how far he can go before his hand gets slapped.

I'd love it if Kamala on day two of the job sends B-52's on a non-stop roundtrip from Shreveport to the Ukraine border, and drops hell on any Russian forces across the line.

Good news most of the US Cargo pilots that this would endanger like Putin.

But if you do get pulled over, they can confiscate any personal belongings with no due process, and you have to sue them to get it back.
