TSA orders airport valets to search parked cars
Thursday, July 18, 2013, 10:49 pm
A woman who valet-parked her car at Rochester airport
returned to find a notice informing her that the valet had searched her
car, on orders from the TSA. The TSA does not search cars in the other
garages, and they do not provide notice to valet parkers that their cars
are subject to search. The TSA says it searches the parked cars because
they are stored close enough to the terminal that a bomb could do
serious damage.John McCaffery, TSA, said, “No, those vehicles that are in the garage, short term long term parking, even if they carry pretty large amounts of explosives, they would not cause damage to the front of the airport. But for those who use the valet, the car could be there for a half hour or an hour so there is a vulnerability.”
