The new America: Living in fear and treating everybody like a criminal, playing right into the terrorists' hands by destroying America from within.

How much longer before Americans finally get angry enough to riot on Washington? It's long overdue.

Have you seen the youtubes showing these TSA officers ?
The majority of them are the poster children for Michelle Obama's war on obesity.
You think these people are going to be out in the hot sun walking from car to car ?

Like I said, these guys are not law enforcement. You don't have to let them seach your car.

I don't call them "officers". They are just screening clerks.

DHS want to get their hands in many facets of our life, basically anywhere public can gather.

My last disastorous ride on a Greyhound a couple of years ago, I was just worried we'd get stuck somwhere in the middle of the freeway when the half dead bus they brought in to replace the one that died followed suit. Personally I never want to set foot on Greyhound again, and would like by early boarding money back too. By the time I found out the bus had arrived it was already half full.

I believe the one that quit on the freeway had a tire blow. I guess you don't need people to bring the stuff that blows.

I wanna feel safe. So if it needs to be done then so be it. No difference than flyin. Surprised "they" have not tried to do some crazy shoe or basket bomb on a bus yet. It would be really easy to do so. Glad my government is lookin out for the small people or those who cant afford to fly everytime.
I rode city busses a lot before I moved here with no busses, but didn't feel at all unsafe on them. The one trip on Greyhound though? ugh.

The bus was having trougle keeping up the speed on the freeway before it blew at least one tire and we sat at the side of the freeway for an hour and the next bus was just a hair in better shape.

Thats a lot of riding around on decrepet old busses for you to be worrying about terrorists...

Actually we have a department for that..........it's called the DOT. But the enforcement is so lax for maintenance you'd be surprised and shocked. This administration is too focused on citizens with nail clippers than the safe operation of vehicles on public highways.

The TSA is just the beginning of what O has planned.

"We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Why are the powerful in Washington so interested in average Americans instead of terrorists? Because this whole program is an exercise in POWER - nothing more. Once the conditioning process is complete, people will fall into line at the first command. To complete the conditioning, all forms of transportation MUST be managed.

So you completely missed the ZBVs?

They already bought their second fleet of 500 ZBVs.

white box vans that cruise parking lots and residential neighborhoods to nekkid body scan through all vehicles and houses.
