Remember when Obama said he wanted to have a civilian security force? If you forgot, here's the video clip:

Some might argue that he was only referring to citizens being alert, but why would he say they need to be just as powerful, strong, and well-funded as the military? However, the President did not need to authorize a civilian security force; his predecessor already set one up for him: the TSA.
Americans have grown accustomed to the TSA's presence at the airport, even as it now involves a naked scan or molestation (but you get to choose which one!) However, the TSA is now branching out and inspecting other methods of "transportation." Not only are they inspecting you at the train station and the bus station, but they are now conducting checkpoints to inspect you when you are in your car. Even the liberal-leaning newspaper The Atlantic calls it "Mission Creep."
The TSA was established in a gross overreaction to the 9/11 attacks. I certainly do not want to see those attacks repeated again, but molesting American citizens is not the way to prevent another attack. Americans eventually learned to accept these changes. However, with the latest violation of the fourth amendment, the TSA is not inspecting Americans not only when travelling on public transportation but also while they are traveling in their own vehicles. Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons justifies this by saying, "Where is a terrorist more apt to be found? Not these days on an airplane more likely on the interstate."
The government has treated flying on an airplane as if it is a privilege granted to us by the government instead of a freedom to choose our method of transportation. It will not likely be long before the TSA extends this feeling to all forms of public transit. However, now the government now wants to treat driving a car on the interstate as another privilege it grants its "subjects." While some would justify checks at the airport and even train and bus stations by saying they are "voluntary" (you have the option of purchasing the ticket and undergoing the search, or not purchasing the ticket and avoiding the search), it is impossible to survive without traveling on the highway, whether driving or riding. If the extension of the searches continue, it will not be long before we can be subjected to a search for walking on a public sidewalk. If Americans do not stand up for their freedom, it will not be long before the Bush-created civilian security force becomes Obama's powerful, strong, and well-funded dream.
Glenn Beck used to play that clip on his Fox show, and it has always stuck with me. Scary stuff. Obama is crazy as hell.
Who the Hell would waste time and, etc., etc., going after Obama, when he’s self destructing?
Gotta a link?

Not a problem...
If I am traveling in my private vehicle, the licensed driver already has permission to operate a vehicle by the respective state.
If you want to search me , or my vehicle , you better have a warrent.
Absent a warrent , you have no legal right to prevent me from travel, or to touch me, or search my person.
#1 ) You lack : “ probable cause” to conduct a search
#2 ) There is a presumption of innocence according to the ‘rule of law’ , and the ‘ law of the land’
#3 ) If you still choose to search me anyway , I will place a towel arround my head , lie to you and advise you that I am an “undocumented non-citizen” Moooselum from Mexico
#4 ) Petition the U.S. Dept. of “Just-us” Department for legal aide
#5 ) I will own your house , your wife , and your kids
#6 ) I will force you to eat your peas
Welcome to the OBananna Republic !!
No clip, it was over a year ago on his tv show. It was when Obama was campaigning. I just saw your post here. I’ll try to find it online
Many thanks.
