Court rules TSA screeners immune from lawsuit damagesAnother reason not to fly: A federal appeals court today ruled 2-1 that TSA screeners are personally immune from lawsuit damages for overall abusive or invasive assaults.
Essentially this ruling puts TSA screeners above the law, allowed to abuse Americans anyway they wish.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

And it appears that the same goes for the FBI and the DOJ and any other member of these exclusive elite government law enforcement and empowered political “clubs”. No oversight, not consequences for illegal actions taken.
There is a line and they continue to move it further and further from reasonable, eventually what will we have?
It just means you sue the employer and not the employee. In this case, the employer has unlimited resources though :(
The problem is that the law allows the TSA to do many things that people find objectionable. In most cases, it isn’t the employees fault.
From the article:
Well, someone was law enforcement enough to make an arrest, and someone performed the investigation and malicious prosecution, for which she was acquitted.
It’s bad enough that we have to strip down and go through the porn-o-vision machine or suffer the nipple squeeze procedure, now the TSA can get away with bad behavior during this public humiliation.
There was a time when I loved to fly. Not anymore.
(Hmm. I may have chosen the wrong profession. Is there a TSA job application handy?)
From the article:
So, now the TSA can get away with retaliation against travelers that merely want to complain about TSA agents’ bad behavior. Allowing retaliation, false arrest, and malicious prosecution is how government agents get swelled heads about just how powerful they are over the peons that they process every day.
This is how we get corrupt agents who think that they have the right and power to do whatever they please, such as sway federal elections.
Welcome to Obama’s America, land of the formerly free.
