The right to hijack or blow up a scheduled airline flight shall not be

That seems more than a little vague, as usual.

How might the TSA discern between the "normal people" such as
yourself; employed as an engineer with ample time all day every day to
post anti-government rants to Usenet, and a completely nutsoid k00k
with all day every day to post anti-government rants to Usenet, but is
a little smarter than to do so.
