Changes

Ever since the TSA assumed control of airport security in the early 2000's following the 9/11 attacks, numerous criticism has arose from the public that the agency's heightened security procedures create an [[invasion of privacy]], and may therefore result in a violation of [[privacy rights]] laws. Examples of invasive procedures prominently include the full body pat-down performed on passengers by Security Officers, as well as the previous Backscatter X-Ray machine (due to it displaying an image of the passenger's naked body to officers), which have recently been removed from airports as of 2013.

The implementation of TSA inspections in areas outside of airports in recent years (such as the [[New York Metro]] stations and the [[Super Bowl]]) have resulted in claims by some that the [[Barack Obama]] administration is attempting to utilize the TSA as a form of government intimidation on American citizens.
