DEA Caught Red-Handed: Airport Intimidation

At airports across the U.S., Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents confront flyers as they are boarding flights and ask to search carry-on items.

These interactions are supposed to be consensual. But flyers often get the impression that they have no choice but to submit to a search.

IJ currently has a class action lawsuit against the DEA and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) over their unconstitutional searches and seizures at U.S. airports.
