"But they argue that the random nature of the searches and the presence of armed officers serve as a deterrent and bolster scare the public. confidence."
Sorry, just had to fix that. This is so wrong.
They would start in the airports to get us accustomed and acquiescent to it, then they would expand it until there was a TSA goon on every corner asking to see your papers.
And all the street-corner TSA goons will be Eric Holder's people. Count on it.

...Just be glad you’re still allowed to pass this on without censorship.
I’ll vote for whoever will fight this madness...
Flying is an ordeal at every level. The TSA is a part of it, and particularly annoying, but just about everything from the point of leaving my home to the point of actually walking through the door of my destination is a chore.
I just try to not travel very much. It works for me.
Not only expansion of the TSA, but hiring of thousands of IRS agents and DHS grants to local law enforcement agencies across the country to provide military grade weaponry, body armor, vehicles and surveillance such as unmanned aerial drones.
WTF is going on?
So after 11 years of this terrorist BS, we need a President or candidate that is actually going to change the direction of this Patriot Act, to one that represents the wishes of a free (not scared) people, and that which makes us the “Most free country in the world”? Otherwise freedom is just a USA marketing slogan.
Having SWAT (or whatever the latest LE buzzword is) teams with automatic weapons on every American corner, monitoring us, and at every train station scanning and asking for ID please is not my idea of freedom. Once this movement to steal our freedom starts, there is no end unless the guy on top says so.
We need to have an open and very public debate on why this movement to muzzle and handcuff all Americans as potential bad guys continues unabated.
Make that, "HELL NO!
Just dropped my son off at the airport and saw him go through the TSA gauntlet. I really don’t know why, because our family has gone through these for several years , but looking at the tubs of sh#t stuffed into their stupid uniforms and shiny little badges made me want to puke.
We are all sheep. My only consolation is that most of the airport flunkies will start getting their cancers in about 5-10 years, for women with predisposition for breast cancer. Men will pop up with the thyroid and then big cohort will get leukemias in 10-15 years. F’em all.
The only thing that would make me happier is if only the democrat owners of the corporations making money off of our loss of rights would go bankrupt to make it all good.
Maybe they could check folks on the way into and out from Mosques?
Among sheeple perhaps, but they do nothing except raise anxiety levels amongst the citizens.
I’m waiting for the weak minded “well you have no RIGHT to fly or you don’t have to fly” cowards to speak up about if we have a RIGHT TO:
Travel by train
Travel by bus
Enter a sports facility
Enter a Town, County, State building without our 4th Amendment rights being violated.
Just when will these cowards reach their breaking point and join the rest of us who detest the TSA and everything they represent? When can we return to profiling the scum of the earth who want to destroy us?. I am all for infringing on the “rights” of mudslime maggots who have openly called for our destruction before we infringe upon the rights of one more real AMERICAN grandmother or child in our PC insanity.
Does this mean that they are going after illegal aliens?
The Greyhound station in Orlando ought to have a detachment of special forces to keep the peace, never mind the TSA.
This is why I do not do public transportation. One of them would end up touching my daughter and I’d end up ripping his arms off and feeding them to him. It wouldn’t end well for anyone involved. Touch my daughter and I will hurt you very, very badly.
I’ll stick to private modes of transportation. They cross into that area and we’ll have issues.
