The out-of-control Transportation Security Administration is past patdowns at airports – now it's checkpoints and roadblocks.
Ever since 2010, when the Transportation Security Administration started requiring that travelers in American airports submit to sexually intrusive gropings based on the apparent anti-terrorism principle that "If we can't feel your nipples, they must be a bomb", the agency's craven apologists have shouted down all constitutional or human rights objections with the mantra "If you don't like it, don't fly!"
...
now TSA is invading travel by other means, too. No surprise, really: as soon as she established groping in airports, Napolitano expressed her desire to expand TSA jurisdiction over all forms of mass transit
...
Airports, bus terminals, train stations, highways – what's left? If you don't like it, walk. And remember to be respectfully submissive to any TSA agents or police you encounter in your travels, especially now that the US supreme court has ruled mass strip-searches are acceptable for anyone arrested for even the most minor offence in America. If you're rude to any TSA agent or cops, you risk being arrested on some vague catch-all charge like "disorderly conduct". Even if the charges are later dropped, you'll still undergo the ritual humiliation of having to strip, squat, spread 'em and show your various orifices to be empty.
Can I call America a police state now, without being accused of hyperbole?

But, but, but......I thought that’s what the ‘readers’ at the Guardian want????
Note to Guardian: Please work on your OWN country that has implemented ‘Big Brother’......then give me a call. KTHNXBAI.
Of course the common garden variety are a real threat via the bite only if they have rabies.
Pretty soon they’ll be making surprise inspections of businesses and homes! Don’t believe me? Just watch.
As long as we have free and fair elections, I'm not sure you can call America a police state, even if the police are temporarily out of control.
Now if one party managed to get hold of both parties and the press and nominate only liberal candidates, and it was almost impossible for a third party to run against them, then ....
Yep, you can call us a police state.
The State Department just said that the War on Terror is over. We no longer need the TSA, DHS or the Patriot Act.
Let me just say for the record: Bush’s fault.
Of course, this is the one area that the Obama administration is reluctant to give away credit for.
“The State Department just said that the War on Terror is over. We no longer need the TSA, DHS or the Patriot Act.”
Surely you jest.
Presidents Bush, Clinton, and Papa Bush need to take Obama aside and tell him to cool it on the totalitarian sh*t... We’re not some creepy third world African dictatorship. After 9/11 measures were taken to protect citizens... but it’s time to back off now...
“And remember to be respectfully submissive to any TSA agents or police you encounter in your travels, especially now that the US supreme court has ruled mass strip-searches are acceptable for anyone arrested for even the most minor offence in America.”
Why isn’t this a major campaign issue? Could it be both sides are interested in control of average folks?
Could it be???
The mission of the TSA has nothing to do with airport security. It is to condition people to being groped, prodded, herded and generally treated like cattle. It is to condition us to slavery. We are already a police state. Its time to rise up and get rid of the tyrants and take our liberty back.
With mass voter fraud and a virtual one party system with a choice of “progressive” Mittens or “progressive” Obama which the elite orchestrated with their money and air time, you can say we have democracy in America?
If you have no constitutional rights and there is no limit on Federal power, you do not have a Democatic Republic anymore.
If federal agents can sexually molest you at their will, and without cause as you try to fly on airplanes, you don’t even have the dignity of a free man anymore. If they make that system so that you can not use roads or any transportation without being molested, you will be like a Soviet citizen.
The elitists, who refer to themselves as the ‘smart” people, hate us. It is not a mistake or a joke. It is systematic. It was launched by Bush in the name of Islamic terrorism.
I am thankful writers in other countries are condemning these abuses of Americans. Our newspapers could care less and our elite hate us.
People who object to the growth of Gov’t and expansion of the nanny state are a minority and aren’t prone to getting votes, ie Ron Paul.
I'm thankful writers in other countries care about us too. Freedom of the press is wasted on our self censored biased MSM.. The only - ONLY - enemy they hate is us - their fellow Americans who happen to be conservative... Shame on them.
The TSA is the most under-reported, and if Obama remains, this agency will be the most dangerous phenomena in this country’s history.
The tsa/will be armed and turned against the American people. Military won’t. These people enjoy doing what they do to people. That’s where the 450 million rounds of jhp 40 Cal are going.
Consider we go through about 70 million rounds a year in Afghanistan. Now figure how long 450 million rounds will last tsa, FBI, IRS, dea, batfe against us citizens.
It’s what a great many freepers were yelping for ten years ago. Scratch a neocon, find a Trot — then and now.
That might very well be it. I think you're on to something.
The first TSA fag that attempts to stop me from driving somewhere is not going to enjoy the experience at all.
