http://www.rollingstone.com/politics...irport-w468643Upon deplaning from Delta Flight 1583 in New York, passenger Anne Garrett tweeted, "We were told we couldn't disembark without showing our 'do ents.'"
Another passenger, Matt O'Rourke, snapped a similar picture. O'Rourke tells Rolling Stone that the Delta flight attendant alerted passengers, "You'll need to show your papers to agents waiting outside the door."
"She was weirded out by it," he says. The agents, O'Rourke says, said nothing to him, but took his ID and scrutinized it for nearly 30 seconds before letting him pass. He describes the experience as "a little bit alarming." Only later did O'Rourke find himself asking, "Why is a customs agent doing this search? The flight didn't enter from another country."
In a statement to Rolling Stone, a spokesperson for CBP said the agency had been asked "to assist in locating an individual possibly aboard Delta flight 1583" who had been "ordered removed by an immigration judge." The spokesman added that CBP agents "requested identification from those on the flight" but that ultimately "[t]he individual was determined not to be on the flight."
Rolling Stone asked CBP to point to its statutory authority to stop and examine the iden y do ents of deplaning domestic passengers. The spokesman sent a link to a do ent led CBP Search Authority. The do ent refers to CBP's authority to inspect international arrivals. Specifically, it cites 19 C.F.R. 162.6, which states, "All persons, baggage and merchandise arriving in the Customs territory of the United States from places outside thereof are liable to inspection by a CBP officer." The CBP do ent adds: "CBP has the authority to collect passenger name record information on all travelers entering or leaving the United States." (Emphasis added.)
Asked to clarify CBP's authority over domestic passengers, the spokesman replied that "at this time this is all I have."
Rolling Stone asked CBP to clarify whether the CBP do ent search was truly a "request" – or instead a legally binding demand by the agents. The spokesman again could not clarify CBP's legal authority, warning only, "It is always best to cooperate with law enforcement, so as to expedite your exiting the airport in a timely manner."
So they're upset for having their IDs scrutinized for 30 seconds?
Meh. What pisses me off at San Antonio Airport is having to take shoes off when going through the metal detector
not required as of yesterday morning, at least.
30 seconds added to 100+ passengers exiting is 50 minutes, easily enough to miss your connection.
It was illegal. CBP doesn't have authority over domestic travelers.
I read where CBP has total authority (no Cons ution, since the Cons ution only applies to US citizens) within 100 mi, or 200 mi?, of the border. iow, if the judge says go get an alien on a plane, the US citizens "inconvenienced" are just collateral damage obstructions.
imagine a declared state of emergency, like France:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7595251.htmlHuman rights in France are at “a tipping point” as the government expands police powers in the wake of a wave of Isis-inspired terror attacks, a report has warned.
Parliament has voted to extend the country’s ongoing state of emergency five times since 130 people were massacred by militants in Paris in November 2015.
It affords security services exceptional powers including the ability to place anyone deemed to be a security risk under house arrest, dissolve groups thought to be a threat to public order, carry out searches without judicial warrants and block any websites that “encourage” terrorism.
It was law enforcement asking for an ID.
it might have been unnerving but not a big deal.
Again, I feel more violated just going through initial security to get on the plane. .....where they also routinely ask for ID
LE exercising unlawful authority is a big deal regardless of what you think.
You'll have to show exactly how it's unlawful. I think were it to go to court that there is enough precedence to allow it.
Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada
Pigs do dis in the hoods aound the country on a daily basis
Im glad crackas and other white fat necks will experience this from now on
Trump making everyone equal
"But I got a meeting to run to..."
"Shut the up nerd and show me your papers"
your definition of fairness is the police violating everyone's rights, a police state.
not sure why that makes you feel so jolly.
If I was a terrorist I would want to do something of significance just to see the dramatic despotic overreaction that the Trump administration would have.
It was already a police state in the ghettos. Its a good thing now its everywhere for equalitys sake
Sure it would be preferable no police state anywhere but we know that has zero chance of happening
Cants disagree with this. Looks like Donnie is licking his chols waiting for something anything to happen. Maybe even praying
His popularity would skyrocket just the same as Ws did post-9/11
and you might be asked for your papers 20 times a day. how would that suit you, Blake?
20 times a day? That slippery slope sure slipped fast and far.
They'd better have probable cause or I'm suing for harassment.
The hole is just full of .
ing fascists.
Wear flip flops.
I wore mandals this last time. It still blows walking barefoot through the detector.
While collecting my things I asked the tsa agent if they regularly mop the floor. She just laughed. It's not right.
& you forgot to say "Hitler."
tee, hee.
