IMO, the passenger should have been allowed access to normal communication. Stopping him was not unwarranted, but the process itself shouldn't be an ordeal.

If he was a genuine threat, allowing him "normal
communication" might give him the chance to warn
co-conspirators or call a cell phone that triggers a bomb.

Do you really think HSA advertises that they search people without knowledge or consent?

I think you'll find that it isn't illegal.

If you want to use an airport or an airline, you have to abide by their terms uf use.

By buying a ticket and entering the airport, you are deemed to have consented to these.
If it involves being searched, either overtly, or covertly, then so be it.

If you do not agree with these T&C's, then you do not buy an airline ticket, or enter an airport.
If you enter, you consent to be searched.
Simple as that.

No system is 100& accurate, and mistakes wil undoubtedly be made, but as the terrorist threat changes and they look for new ways to beat security and kill people, I am glad that the scanners are in place
