These could break civil rights by not allowing people to pack sufficient food and drinks for a long flight, medication for motion sickness or other items which are required by passengers, but which do not seem compulsory to the airport authorities.

According to acknowledged U.S. (Larsen, 2007) and international experts (Hoffman, 2003) in aviation security, the entire approach of screening passengers (1) randomly and (2) only after they set foot onto airport property is not an effective way of preventing
Aviation Security Since 911 How has aviation security improved since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001? What do reliable sources in the literature say with reference to safety and security in 2015? And how effective is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at keeping air travelers safe? This paper covers those issues and in particular provides a number of good sources commenting on the quality (or lack of quality) displayed by
