TSA on eBay: Items that didn't make in on-board now sold online (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/7670500)

What, no background check? For things like boxcutters that have been used to hijack planes on, say, September 11, 2001? Meh...

Why is it, that as a seasonal airline industry employee, this doesn't surprise me? :rolleyes:

It's "voluntary" because the TSA doesn't shoot you if you don't refuse to surrender them. They just don't let you past security. Notice that I put "voluntary" in quotes.

The government can pretty much do whatever the hell it wants and call it "legal."
