Daniel Rubin: Another case of TSA overkill

Did you hear about the Camden cop whose disabled son wasn't allowed to pass through airport security unless he took off his leg braces?

Did you hear the one about the T.S.A. agent who treated a passenger with dignity and respect? He was fired for dereliction of duty!

Harassed War Reporter: We Must Stand Up To TSA Thugs

A war reporter who was detained, interrogated and handcuffed at Seattle airport for refusing to answer personal questions about his income has warned that Americans need to start standing up to TSA thugs because entering the country is now a more stifling experience than some of the worst police states on the planet.

There is no need to worry about the thugs at the United States airports. That shortly will not be an aberration, but rather the norm. The federal government is looking to hire more thugs to enforce the new harsh and repressive mandatory health insurance laws, recycling laws, eating laws, energy consumption laws and weather proofing laws.

Detained by TSA

In town for a conference, a director of Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty is detained by TSA at the St. Louis airport because when asked to explain why he's carrying $4,700 in cash (it was proceeds from book and ticket sales at the conference), he asks the agents to tell him what law requires him to do so. He managed to surreptitiously record his conversations with TSA officers on a cell phone. The audio is infuriating.

The director of Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty should have known better. He should know by now how the government works. He should have known that it is illegal to have any wealth. He should have known that all wealth must be distributed to the millions of currently unemployed and the millions more who will shortly become unemployed. How can we have true socialism in this country if any citizen is allowed to own anything?

Entry to U.S. scares away tourism, business

Since September 11, the U.S. has seen a 17% decline in foreign visitors, and a travel advocacy group says that the reason is “a climate of fear and frustration that is turning away foreign business and leisure travelers from visiting the United States and damaging America’s image abroad.”

The last thing the United Socialist States of Amerika wants is tourists from foreign countries coming here and discovering the U.S.S.A. is more repressive than any other foreign communist dictatorship. That is why the main unwritten rule of the T.S.A. is to treat all passengers with disdain, disgust and disrespect.

TSA is as unpopular as the IRS -- UPDATED

The TSA is now tied with the IRS for least popular government agency in America, according to an AP poll. They're even less popular than FEMA -- the bunglers who brought you the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Why should the Infernal Revenue Service (I.R.S.) have all the glory. Any government organization that acts on behalf of or kindly towards citizens is not doing their job correctly. Therefore, the more hated you are, the better job you are doing. Which is why Barack Hussein Obama's approval ratings continue to plummet. Once his approval ratings have flat lined at 0%, then Barack Hussein Obama will know that the glorious workers paradise promised by Karl Marx will have arrived, and he will be the cause of it.

reason.tv We're The TSA And You Can Count On Us!

We’re the Transportation Security Administration. We’re working hard to make sure you enjoy a safe flight. And while we cannot apprehend every terrorist, you can count on us to do what we’re trained to do whenever there’s a security breach–overreact to tiny threats.

Overreact to tiny threats; ignore the big ones. That’s what we do, and we do it better than anyone.

I was going to write something scathing about how good the T.S.A. is at allowing real terrorist through the screening system, while harassing obviously innocent loyal American citizens. But it turns out that someone has already done it.

So all I am left with is a few questions and a conclusion.

Is this the typical level of care and concern that government employees are exhibiting towards the 99% of the passengers who are law abiding citizens of this and other countries when they are stopped at a T.S.A. screening station? Is this how the T.S.A. searches for Muslim Terrorists man-caused disasters?

Then I am very afraid to see how the incompetent government hacks who will be administering health care treat the sick and ailing law abiding citizens in this country.
