Odd because I remember back when these goons were put on duty many said just wait and they will not only be in the airports but everywhere. Those folks were of course called conspiracy nuts and the like because dear government would never do anything like that. Well............
"WASHINGTON — As hundreds of commuters emerged from Amtrak and commuter trains at Union Station on a recent morning, an armed squad of men and women dressed in bulletproof vests made their way through the crowds. A team of Transportation Security Administration officers, known as a VIPR squad, at Washington’s Union Station last month.
The squad was not with the Washington police department or Amtrak’s police force, but was one of the Transportation Security Administration’s Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response squads — VIPR teams for short — assigned to perform random security sweeps to prevent terrorist attacks at transportation hubs across the United States. “The T.S.A., huh,” said Donald Neubauer of Greenville, Ohio, as he walked past the squad. “I thought they were just at the airports.”
With little fanfare, the agency best known for airport screenings has vastly expanded its reach to sporting events, music festivals, rodeos, highway weigh stations and train terminals.
Not everyone is happy."
Liberals are.
