This is crime. The people who authorized this should be put in jail and the officers present should at least be fired.

It should not be allowed that power is so easily abused, nor should written laws be so easily twisted without fear of consequence.

I believe a civil disruption of the airport specifically targeting the security apparatus would be an appropriate response.

To the cynics, yes, I am idealistic and, yes I'm pretty much just venting, but damn, this is just going too far. Suggestions for constructive frustration welcome.
