Why Congress Isn’t So Concerned With TSA Nude Scans & Gropes: They Get To Skip Them
21st November 2010
As they do so many negative aspects of life.
On the other hand, although I can think of many arguments in favor of throwing Congressmen in jail, I can’t think of any for making them go through airport security; I doubt that any of them are going to hijack the plane and fly it into the White House. (More’s the pity; I would vote for such a person.)

The main reason for requiring them to go through airport security is a general argument: Congress shall make no law from which members of Congress are exempted by virtue of being members of Congress. That’s not actually the way I’d want it stated in a law or amendment; they can get around that by exempting everyone who’s getting a federal salary. But I’m sure you get the idea.
