“...the TSA conducts 8,000 unannounced security screenings every year”
...and judging from the pic from the story, they’ve targeted the white, female, 22 year old Christian college student home for summer break as our latest threat.
“Gold panning can be done in any part of Michigan one of the better places is the shores of Lake Superior where they find gold in beach sands. Because of the way the gold was entered into Michigan it probably holds true that gold can be found in all the beach sands of the Great Lakes that touch on Michigan.”
No, they've got Google to do that for them.
I know a lot of patriotic FReepers aren’t going to like this but I believe this country has become as bad as and possibly worse than NAZI Germany or Communist Russia were in their heyday. The main difference being we of course don’t have concentration camps, gulags or mass killings...yet!
One big difference is that we started from a point of prosperity and other than the unconstitutional search and seizures and the plethora of annoying taxes and laws, we as a nation haven’t felt much real pain. It is on the way though. Hunger, imprisonment, and even more loss of freedom is on our horizon. I don’t see how we can avoid really bad times regardless of who gets elected.
Sure if Republicans take over this cycle the freedom loss won’t be as bad but the economic meltdown of this nation is, I believe, inevitable. I hope like hell I’m wrong but I don’t think so. Everyday it seems the amount of bad news just seems to point in the wrong direction. I’m not seeing anything positive at all. Even the euphoria of the 2010 elections has turned into somewhat of a nightmare with Boehner and company either asleep at the switch or, Heaven help us, in league with or perhaps I should say, in agreement with many of the left wing policies we here at FR are solidly against.
I truly fear for the future of our Republic. We have gone so far astray from the principles of our Founding Fathers it will take nothing short of a miracle to place our feet on the path back to righteousness and prosperity.
You have missed my point (which is my fault).
HOW MANY PLANES did TSA search?
How long will it be before you cannot drive from one state to another without your car being searched your body molested and papers reviewed, by government agents.
How many planes did they strip search? Or send through the x-ray machine?
How many buses ?
My point is that they are searching PEOPLE, not the vehicles.
The TITLE of the article says they are searching the VEHICLES.
TSA has already been doing this for some time(buses, trains, etc).
Right!!
We bought the argument “Its for the CHILDREN!” so they thought we would swollow anything.
We have.
1984 arrived........ a bit late.
Obombya the war hawk is developing his citizen army that he told us he would. One of the few promises he has actually kept, besides hope and change.
One question, how long before TSA will hit the highways ? I don’t see it that far away. Or even worse, everytime you cross a state line, you have to go through an inspection both personal effects and your vehicle. I know some bigwig types would love that. When I travel, I go through some states where the equipment on my vehicle is not legal for the given state such as window tint and lights. I use E-Spec headlamps and not US-DOT spec.
Wouldn’t ya think the first security action would be secure borders and checks on visas ?? Just say’n
Like cattle led to the slaughter America’s once proud and independent and FREE people line up to be searched..just cuz
I don’t see many freepers disagreeing with that assessment. Homeland inSecurity is off the rails and needs to be reigned in big time.
Very long
Right and the same government that wants to do this to the people.... Does not want it to apply to them. They want to be exempt from their own laws.
I agree and have been saying it for years. See my tagline.
That Department needs to be abolished.
Now it is a bureaucracy struggling to justify its existence.
Local authorities can handle 99% of the problems—the FBI can handle the rest.
Exactly.
