TSA Now Storming Public Places 8,000 Times a Year

[Ronin13]

I am definitely not trying to start a militia or a revolution, but how and when do we as freedom loving Americans peacefully put an end to the erosion of our freedom? Can we find State Representatives to write legislation restricting the scope of the TSA within Colorado, before we have roving TSA searches on our city streets?

+1... Agreed, enter Gestapo and the Police State. If I'm ever stopped and illegally searched by these Nazi muffins I'll just get the name of the man in charge and write as high up as I have to that they are violating my 4th Amendment rights.
Dear Uncle Sam,
Please cease and desist your shredding of the US Constitution... I repeat STOP SHREDDING THE CONSTITUTION!
Sincerely,
The American People

from the article:

"We'll be back," Milano told reporters. "We won't say when we'll be back. This way the bad guys are on notice we'll be back."


I can just see this guy polishing his badge.

1 - Is this really happening this way and not some dumb ass radio host trying to make a name for himself.

2 - If it is real, how can this be allowed without more outrage than this one persons article? I know for a fact that there are patriots in this country.

3 - If this is real how can we put a stop to it?

Reading that article just took 12 years off my life.

It's hard to find a nice medium for security. You want to feel safe and have the bad guys caught before they commit any mass murders but you don't want to be bothered with going through the screenings yourself because you know that you are one of the good guys. I don't think that tearing a bus apart on a whim is a good use of our money and I don't think they need helicopters and boats. TSA should stick to airports, bus and train stations. Leave the rest up to people who know what they are doing. I do see how it is somewhat within there right to search a bus ( a mode of transportation that they control), but they need to know what they are looking for. "large sums of cash" can be left up to interpretation and is not acceptable. I am ok with them searching for bombs, gas, and wmd's. Also, don't think for a second that you are going to take my gun from me.

Sure you can feel free to search my stuff, yeah if it helps dissuade terrorists... The moment we allow this to happen they've already won. Some pansy up on the hill thinks that anything can be a prime target for terror and wants to lock this place down tighter than a republican's butt at a gay parade. With PC growing and fear spreading our nation is headed in the wrong direction.

I disagree. The TSA shouldn't even exist at all.

I agree with you there. I actually went to a concert last weekend at Red Rocks and with the searches they were doing I had to ask "You guys aren't off duty TSA employees are you?" When they said no I was tempted to ask but didn't: "So you're part of the SS? or the Gestapo?"

My sentiments exactly.
