Since its inception in 2002, the Department of Homeland Security has grown increasingly contemptuous of the rights of the American people.
Indeed, the Gestapo-like tactics of one of the Department’s better known masters of overreach–the TSA–are responsible for countless examples of the organizations daily assault on the Constitution.
But recently, another of Janet Napolitano’s handmaidens of harassment has begun to make news…albeit only on the web, of course. It is the TSA’s Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response task force–or VIPR.
Organized into mobile swat teams,VIPR has executed some 8,000 highly public searches in the past 12 months.
And what meaningful operations they have been.
In a Georgia Amtrac station,VIPR personnel “patted down”all travelers, children and adults, both entering AND LEAVING the station.
In Santa Fe, New Mexico, teams of VIPR agents were assigned to conduct searches at a high school prom.
In Texas, agents thoroughly “…searched all private and commercial vehicles entering and exiting…”the port of Brownsville.
EACH AND EVERY VEHICLE was searched even though the task force was not responding to any known or reported threat!

Did it include all Muslims or were they exempted?
I honestly don’t think I could maintain my composure at one of these stops. Nothing to hide and everything to lose by raising a fuss, and I’d probably do it anyway.
Anyone who hasn’t read the rest of the article should do it. It’s short, and it’s a real eye opener.

It’s for the childrun !!!!!!! < / sarc >
This information, if true, needs to be spread wider across the country.

I’d lock myself in my car, and demand a warrant be presented!
As long as the perpetrators can act without consequence, it will not only continue - it will get worse. The final destination: rail cars and camps.
Think about the mindset of the filth occupying the white House today.
sounds like we need to organize a Tea Party Flash Mob to show up in the next location where VIPR appears...
