Are you purposefully overlooking the surrender of rights (freedom of speech, freedom from search and seizure) involved in flying on an airplane, or are you seriously just not seeing it?
I will try and make this very clear.
Flying on a commercial airplane requires you to be searched. It is not a violation of your rights because, by agreeing to fly on the airplane, you are agreeing to be searched.
Joining a chess club requires you to be tested for drugs. It is not a violation of your rights because, by joining the chess club, you are agreeing to be tested.
In both cases, a person's "privacy" is taken away from them.
Yet you are not arguing against the former while dubbing the latter as some gross conspiracy to erode the rights of American citizens.
One is acceptable while the other is not.
Yet they are, at the very foundation, the same thing - temporarily resigning a liberty for an end.
