Another 4th Amendment violation

"Police to begin checking bags for explosives at CTA stations

The newest Chicago Police counterterrorism effort will involve assigning officers to high-traffic CTA train stations to randomly check riders’ bags for explosives.

Starting the week of Nov. 3, officers will ask “randomly selected” individuals if they are willing to have their bags screened before they pay to enter a station, police said in a statement Friday. If someone declines the screening, they will not be allowed to ride the train."


Excuse me.  If I don't want to submit to their intrusive screening, I CANNOT ride the train?

Under what section of the Law or the Constitution are they performing these checks?

H/t .357 Magnum aka TFS
