Federalizing airport security

[Undertoad]

I can't figure out how to feel about this. On one hand, we've pretty much given the air to the feds to start with, and you could make a case that once you've committed to travelling to another state, you're kinda-sorta into a fed zone to start.

On the other hand, an airline can constitutionally tell you to take a hike for wahtever reason they want. But if you're identified as a possible criminal by a government, that government is practicing "prior restraint" which is entirely unconstitutional. A government can't anticipate and prevent a crime that hasn't happened.
