Institute for Justice’s Post

DEA Caught Red-Handed, Airport Searches Grounded Yesterday, the DOJ suspended the DEA's controversial practice of having agents intercept airport travelers, interrogate them and insist on searching their bags. These encounters are supposed to be consensual. However, flyers often get the impression that they have no choice but to submit to a search. The suspension comes on the heels of the Office of the Inspector General report that criticizes the practice and refers to shocking footage of one traveler’s experience that IJ released in July.

Thank you for keeping up the pressure on this disgusting activity. If they think a crime is occurring, investigate it and get a warrant; just obey the constitution and we wouldn’t have this problem………..

Lot worse when DoJ has permitted US military to kill Americas on US soil but I believe your organization said you weren’t interested in the issue.
