Gotta say.....horsehoo to your “oh please” retort.

The state DMV or state public utilities commissions have been doing commercial truck inspections for years......not federal flipping agents.

VIPR is intended by TSA (on their website) to extend to bus stations, passenger rail and passenger water traffic....again, I say federal flipping agents only this time checking people...the feds in intra-state policing. This is new ground and NOT what congress intended when they formed these bunch of airport metermaids.....oh, by the way....TSA is lobbying to ARM these ill educated trogs.

These are the budding internal security goons with loyalty to the central state that every thugee just has to have.

Nip it. Nip it. Nip it. Just say NO.

Well, I just know that that post is misleading as trucks are often inspected...feds, state, whatever. They are venerable because of the danger that big rigs are on the road. One big rig crash could kill a lot of people, just as one single nuke on a big rig and a whole city is gone! That is actually probably the way it is going to happen eventually and I am glad we have people at least doing their jobs, rather than say, IRS agents who just legally steal money from us daily.

Yes, it is new ground and the Obama administration is wishing to expand control. Tiptoeing at first. The masterminds behind the expansion of TSA duties is to also acclimate the public into acquiescence and acceptance.
