So many shortsighted people say, "If you don't like the TSA, take a train." Then these low rent lackeys appeared at the train station" The same sheeple then said, "If you don't like the TSA, take a bus." TSA now appear at bus stations. The cowards then said, "If you don't like the TSA, drive." The TSA have now appeared on highways in Georgia, Texas, and now Tennessee. WAKE UP PEOPLE! The Bill of Rights is being crapped and flushed down the toilet.
From Wikipedia:
It is specifically authorized by 6 U.S.C. § 1112 which says that the program is to "augment the security of any mode of transportation at any location within the United States". Authority for the program is under the Secretary of Homeland Security. The program falls under TSA's Office of Law Enforcement[1]. TSA OLE shares responsibility for the program with the Office of Security Operations and TSNM.[2]
The VIPR teams detain and search citizens at railroad stations, bus stations, ferries, car tunnels, ports, subways, truck weigh stations, rest areas, and special events.[3][4][5][6][7] They also can deploy to deal with CBRNE/WMD (chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear, and explosive weapons of mass destruction)[8] They also do inspections of ships, containers, and vehicles.
You are correct. What rights? TSA is as insidious as the IRS. Gov. Perry fans might want to read up on how he managed to keep a TSA bill from being voted in the Texas legislature until it was sure to fail.
Won't be long till we're like a certain country right on our doorstep. This is who staffs the roadblocks set up throughout Mexico. Looks like the U.S. government is probably going to move toward something like this in the near future
It appears to be constitutional. Buses and Big rigs are used for business and are not personal effects. One step closer to a Police State IMO.
yes and no, some states require a person to stop even if they have a RV trailer or arein a uhaul. neither of those are used for business for the most part.
Oh, my bad. I thought it was because they wanted to make us safe because we can't be expected to take care of ourselves.
