Charlotte Airport Looks Into ‘Opting Out’ of TSA
RALEIGH — If it were up to Jerry Orr, aviation director at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, far fewer travelers would be subjected to x-ray scanners and pat-downs.
When company reps or consultants say they will not come to your community unless a government bribes them, the proper response is skepticism. It is likely that the claim will prove to be less than accurate.
RALEIGH — Hoping to restore the luster of the trampled North Carolina Constitution, former N.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert F. Orr said Monday that a new organization he heads will promote the operation of state government based on constitutional principles. Among the issues the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law may choose to litigate in state court are business subsidies and tax credits as a means of economic development, Orr said. ICL may attempt to have the courts determine whether such subsidies fit the Constitution’s requirement that state government use public monies for “public purpose” only.
