Rogue agency reaches out and touches people outside airports
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has always intended to expand beyond the confines of airport terminals. Its agents have been conducting more and more surprise groping sessions for women, children and the elderly in locations that have nothing to do with aviation. Its all part of TSAs Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) program, which drew additional scrutiny following an Oct. 18 blitz in Tennessee.
As part of a statewide safety operation, TSA employees fondled travelers at bus terminals in Nashville and Knoxville, hunting for security threats. Truckers were harassed at four Volunteer State highway locations between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. - prime time for terrorism, apparently.
Brian Gamble, a Florida firefighter, caught one of these intrusive VIPR operations on video after he got off a train in Savannah, Ga., earlier this year. They had the scanners and everything there, Mr. Gamble told The Washington Times. They had them pull up their shirts, patted them down, wanded them. There were a couple ladies in our group getting searched.
Its kinda ridiculous when youre coming off a train - it doesnt make any sense.

Paragraphs are our friends.......
They are still here. I think even some of our most ardent supporters of the universal police state don't want to be caught publicly endorsing this. Yet.
Thanks for the pings.
Recently when a woman opened her bag she found a note reading “Get your freak on, girl” from a TSA agent next to her personal masturbatory device.

Reminds me of the scene in “Meet the Parents” when DeNiro picks the lock of the suitcase that was mistakenly delivered for Stiller...it was loaded with S&M apparati.
