FAQ
TSA Screeners only have the authority to detain the traveler or their luggage for long enough to determine whether: any of the defined prohibited items are present; the traveler and their carry-on luggage and personal effects do not present a threat to transportation security; and.
Partial strip searches are common at airports, for airport security, which often consists of: removal of shoes (and sometimes socks)
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires passengers to undergo screening for safety reasons, and refusal to comply with these procedures, including pat-downs when necessary, means they cannot proceed through security.
Refusal to answer other questions may cause delay, but officials may not deny you entry into the U.S. for refusing to answer questions so long as they have established your identity and citizenship.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires passengers to undergo screening for safety reasons, and refusal to comply with these procedures, including pat-downs when necessary, means they cannot proceed through security.
TSA agents are required under TSA policy to honor your request, but might try to encourage or pressure you to go through anyway. To be as clear as possible, say, "I opt out." If you opt out, you will be subject to a “standard pat-down.” You also have the right to opt your children out of the scan.
Due to their highly intrusive nature, body cavity searches are generally not performed by TSA officers as part of airport security screenings.
Furthermore, a body cavity search conducted pursuant to T.C.A. 40-7-121 must be performed by a licensed physician or a licensed nurse.
Border patrol agents at the airport may perform a body cavity search if they suspect the person is carrying drugs in their digestive tract without a warrant or probable cause.
(f) A person who knowingly and willfully authorizes or conducts a strip search and visual or physical body cavity search in violation of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.
More info
The TSA is not a law enforcement agency. It does not do strip searches.Strip searches are very rare, especially with modern scanning technology. It is a virtual strip search that reveals not only our private body parts, but also intimate medical details like colostomy bags. I got a partial strip search at airport security for wearing a sanitary towel. I have, however, seen TSA agents checking my bags become embarrassed when I went through airport security. My gf was detained and strip-searched at the border for not having a return ticket - was it lawful? What if I am selected for a strip search? A strip search at the border is not a routine search. She wouldn't have escaped from the airport to be in the US unlawfully?
