The fact remains accurate through today and underscores a point that in aviation security, it is not the object per se that is dangerous but the individual who intends to use that object to inflict harm that presents the danger.

It is not good law enforcement. It is not good security work from our perspective. It is unconstitutional.

The decision is irrational and makes no logical sense.
