TSA vs Contract

I know many people are still dismayed by the recent inception of the TSA pat down policy. There has been much discussion over this issue within contracting study groups.

A friend of mine left this message on another board which I thought perhaps Evolvers might be interested in being privy to hear.

"In addition to the contract you make with the airline to fly,

I think there is more contracting left to be done...

The airline 'leases' or 'rents' the gates at the airport and is
contracted with the airport separately, independent of your contract
with them to fly.

You, the 'traveler' begin contracting independently with the airport
when you drive up to it. Agree to pay for your parking spot, or agree
to stop very briefly and shove the travelers out of the car and drive
away (dropping off at departure). Then you walk inside, with your
bags, and are noticed over the intercoms, and with signs, of offers of
contract. They are adhesional by nature, but there. You are warned,
advised, warned again, and advised some more as you make your way to
the counter. The agent requires your ID at ticket counter (requires =
requests) ... another offer, another bind. Once you have your
boarding pass you make your way to another section of the airport that
is cordoned off, a weigh point... TSA security. There, they have a
claim over that territory, standing in your way in the name of public
security and order. They notice you of everything that is about to
occur, everything that is expected here.

It's just another offer, which you must accept (adhesion?) in order to
proceed to performance of your contract with your airline of choice.
By you standing in line, you have contracted with them once walking
past their notices - you have performed.

They are all, separate contracts, with different parties involved. You see, TSA
has contracts which bind them to search us, bind them to check, so
they are performing their duty. Past lapses whether they are false
flag or not, have demonstrated that TSA is not performing under
contract as they should - incidents have happened.

Now I'm not saying I agree with what they are doing, but we are
looking at this from a contract angle, so there it is."
