Unbelievable! Nothing like teaching kids that Uncle Sam is there to protect you. Now you won't have to be upset when you have the same done to you at the airport.

Background: Private security guards hired by the school district tried TSA-type searches at the prom for Capital High School. Unfortunately, they went too far (so the students say) so their parents sued to have the searches stopped. The judge instead ordered them to be conducted by TSA.

Yep! Bring in the professional molesters!

” to supervise searches of students at the Santa Fe High School prom today and at the coming Capital High School graduation”

Good Grief

[Walkingfeather]

Calling the ACLU ...... crickets....

[rawhide]

I would protest and refuse to show up for either one.

[Tupelo]

TSA? TSA?
A Federal agency searching kids at a prom?
Something is wrong with this picture.
Something is terribly wrong.
Kinda like Federal troops writing traffic tickets.

New Mexico is a swing state, leans blue. Maybe these measures will WAKE THEM UP! Over reach everywhere.

Can a judge really order this to happen? Does he have that much power? Why can’t the school hire professional security guards? Why does it have to be TSA goons?

[born2bfree]

Chalk up another reason to homeschool.

[merryberry]

Wow this is great! Now you don’t have to wait until after the prom to get felt up!

U.S. District Judge James O. Browning also directed that the searches must be "graduated," with pat-downs only if reasonable grounds are established first.

Grounds like the gal is good lookin' and built.

[Deaf Smith]

Damn terrorist. Trying to sneak into high school proms disguised as 25-30 year old middle east high school students.

[SkyDancer]

Waiting for the first to complain about groping in ........

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Right up your alley, comrade.

[Political Junkie Too]

Where is the jurisdiction?

The TSA was chartered to protect travelers, especially air travelers.

Someone needs to take them to court and say that schools are STATE matters.

This is practically a matter of Posse Comitatus -- bringing a Federal agency into day-to-day state affairs.

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP.

[rawhide]

the searches must be "graduated,"

Curious, what does it mean the search must be 'graduated'? Start at the bottom for the body search and rise higher and higher?

A 'graduated mortgage payment' means start low with your mortgage payment and the payment continues to rise each month.

I'd be in front of the school board, in the supt. and principal’s offices, at the newspaper, on the evening news, and on the radio station today. And in between times would be on the phone calling every students’ parents to organize a class of ‘11 protest against the graduation ceremonies. Then tomorrow would be asking around to the churches (oh, no, school and religion!!!), or someone’s ritzy house, or someone’s country place to hold the new non-groping graduation acknowledgment celebration. And while I'm at it ask the local restaurants to help cater a picnic or snacks to show community support for the kids and against the judge, the TSA, and Big Brother government.

[maine-iac7]

The parents should all get together and hire a PRIVATE HALL for the prom.

Insanity

[pallis]

This is just a taste of what is to come. The time when kids will have to pass through TSA security checkpoints and random gropings while at school isn’t too far off. Welcome to the new world order.

[Forgotten Amendments]

When the link required membership, I thought this was fishy. Nope. Just Google it. It's all true.

It's over.

These kids should be looking for a free country to live in.
