TSA Security Harassment and Campaign for Liberty Volunteer
The ACLU sued the TSA following an incident where a Campaign for Liberty volunteer was interrogated and harassed for carrying $4,700 in cash through airport security. While the TSA claimed to change its internal guidelines as a result, they refused to release the new rules publicly, requiring a Freedom of Information Act request. The incident is cited as an example of TSA agents overstepping their legal authority, which is strictly limited to aviation security.
