how much of that applies to the TSA? I'd like to know for my own benefit during travel. I know how to speak to a policeman, but I was under the idea that the TSA had even larger authority.
Just because you exercise the 5th doesn't mean the police or Feds have to suddenly make you comfortable.
He asked for water and probably could've gotten some if he had pushed the issue, it didn't seem as though he was being very vocal about being hungry and thirsty.
It lies somewhere between being Vocal enough to be heard and being so vocal that you are charged with assault. Clearly his fault that he couldn't strike that balance in such comfortable conditions.
Because time and time again the aggressive treatment of passengers by the TSA has proven that we DO NOT have the same rights when dealing with the TSA.
Care to answer my question in a non-snark way? Regardless of the rules and laws in place, it's obvious (to a signifigant amount of other people) that American rights are being trampled on a near daily basis.
