Senators: TSA screeners show ‘arrogant disregard for real Americans’

Thanks for posting the story. It all adds to the pressure. The TSA will be backed off of a lot of this behavior over time simply because nobody wants to put up with it.

 

I'll believe it when I see it. VIPR operations are spreading around the country, Tennessee is practically bragging about how many it's got, DHS was in New York City the other day blocking sidewalks and preventing people from going about their business, our politicians are clueless, no change of administration is going to make a bit of difference, and the sheeple continue to bleat.

 

I tried to reply to the Washington Times, but my comment was rejected........

Thanks for the info on how to send an e-mail. I'll do so today.

 

I will say Hatch's heart was not in it. He was obviously told he had to say something, but he looked and sounded like a dummy being used by a ventriloquist. Retire, Orrin.

 

I just continue to shake my head at the disarray of this country.. Definitely seems like it would be worthwhile to find a new country to live in...

 

Gary Johnson and Ron Paul are the only ones making principled, consistent civil liberty and TSA arguments ... And the MSM is so wedded to their naive right-left dichotomy that they are (deliberately, IMO) excluding Johnson from debates, even though Santorum and Huntsman poll worse than he does.

Heck, Johnson even spent a couple of hours on Tuesday talking to folks at Occupy Wall Street (www.reason.com/blog has a video,and will soon have another one up). A popular, successful 2-term governor and business entrepreneur (and endurance athlete FWIW) who actually has nuance and common sense; it's my own fault that I am surprised at how he's faring in the pathetic, superficial political game that we've established to vet our so-called "leaders".

 

You could try Libya. It's all better now that Ghaddafi is gone, heck it's a democracy. At least, that's what the media is saying.....

 

The best candidates will never get a sniff at that job. There is too much money lined up to prevent it.

 

Lots of wide open space for homesteading in the interior.
