Tell me when you all think TSA screeners will be armed? I like my odds in this one.
Do you think that the Gestapo started out like that? The beginnings were just as humble and non-threatening as where the TSA is now. They all start somewhere and grow however much the people allow them to. They've already WAY overstepped their bounds and have far outlived their usefulness yet rather than dissolving the TSA we're not talking about putting them in charge of high school prom security and now arming them? Pretty soon with all this new found power they'll be given more responsibility. Then it's just a matter of time.
