Drip, drip, drip.........then what?
The fed is clearly over reaching day in and day out.
How much more will We The People tolerate?
I just returned from a trip - Seattle to Southern California. On the way down, my husband and I were both pulled out for secondary screenings. I am a mid 40s housewife of Irish lineage. My husband is a 50 year old first generation Norwegian. If TSA was looking for any red flags for potential terrorists, I doubt they’d find one between us! But, we were pulled out of line and had a pretty embarrassing body search done in front of a few hundred people! (The agents didn’t seem to be any more pleased than we were and behaved very professionally the whole time.) Needless to say, I felt LESS safe after this as I fumed over the complete waste of time and thought about all of the potential bad guys who got through while my husband and I were being humiliated.
On the way back, my 20 year old son (remember 1/2 Irish 1/2 Norwegian) was selected for a secondary screening. He also declined the “cancer machine”and we discovered something very interesting. Since this was a smaller airport, they shut down the machine so that the operator could perform the pat down. So, for the next five minutes, everyone else just walked right through because the scanner wasn’t manned! Hmmmmmm, do you suppose that the terrorists might also notice this opportunity? Let’s put the guy who is clean at the front of the line and when he refuses the scanner, we’ll all just walk onto the plane while he’s getting patted down!
This story was huge a few weeks ago but too many people have just decided to submit and not make a fuss. I admit - I live in liberal Washington State and I know it won’t do any good to complain to my elected officials. So, Freepers, what do you suggest that I do now? I’m furious but I’m just one person! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I’m losing my freedoms bit by bit by bit....
How much will we tolerate? Apparently we will tolerate any degree of fascism thinking it will never happen to us.
We'll tolerate up to the point where we're asking each other "How did we let this happen?"

It is outrageous that our government would routinely harass citizens for decent.
What are we becoming, a Soviet style tyrannical dictatorship?
