TSA Expands Searches of Parked Cars at Airports
TSA-approved
warrantless searches of vehicles parked outside airports are being
expanded, with a photograph taken at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth
International Airport informing Thanksgiving travelers that all vehicles
belonging to AmeriPark customers "will be searched by uniformed
security."
The policy, which first came to light earlier this
summer after complaints from people who found notes inside their car
which read, "your vehicle has been inspected under TSA regulations,"
continues to cause confusion and stoke concern amongst privacy
advocates.
When the story first broke, the TSA was keen to
deflect responsibility by explaining that although, "the plan is
approved by the TSA, it is up to each airport authority and its state
and local law enforcement partners to follow the plan that has been
implemented."
