New TSA interrogation tactic

Can the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) pull you out of line without any rational reason, quiz you on where you are going and why? And if you choose not to answer, does that make you “hostile?” One newspaper writer from the Midwest found out the answers to those questions on Monday when he experienced the TSA’s new “chat-down” while waiting in line at airport security.

Read about the latest tactic that TSA thugs are using against law abiding American citizens. One of the first thing President Romney should do once he takes office is dismantle and shut down the TSA. The agency is fascism run amok. The TSA does nothing to promote safety in air travel. Their job is to condition the American people to being treated like cattle. Once you get the slaves used to being poked, prodded, strip searched and interrogated without probable cause, they are much easier to control. Patriots across our country should be demanding that the TSA be shut down.

probable cause is you are trying to get on the airplane.

And, since it's not unreasonable, they can search you.

If it was a government owned airline the legal situation might be different.

Since at least WW2 has the Security State of America become smaller under any POTUS at any time?

Do you really think Romney will make it smaller if he is elected?

If you do I have a bridge to sell you...

[Celtic Cross]

Go ahead and vote for Obama then, if thats how you feel.

[Timber Rattler]

One of the first thing President Romney should do once he takes office is dismantle and shut down the TSA.

He won't because he's a big government statist.

Well, the TSA is getting trained in ALinsky enforcement of compliance and other queer methods of daring to be queer and proud of abusing without being touched.

And that is the gist of things, because those who train them are our enemies. Their consultants are the very Alinskies who bomb us.

Isn’t that something. So a TSA agent can easily be spooked by a terrorist, where as the rest of us compliant and without a mean to defend, we get screwed.

This tantrum reaction every time someone does not speak in glowing terms of Romney pretty much proves that FreeRepublic has been swarmed by GOP sycophants.

Get over it.

I've experienced the chat down at an Israeli airport, I am betting you will get the chat down if you try to board any flight to Israel or an El Al flight anywhere in the world

Israeli security uses it as a very effective screening tool

However - unlike our TSA - they also apply profiling and their agents are not brain dead affirmative action hires under management of a bull lesbian-dominated PC-driven agency that is obsessed with nailing nonmuslims as potential terrorists

[Jack Hydrazine]

Doesn’t matter which one you vote for really because both are admitted Progressives. And Progressives, like any other collectivist bunch (Democrats, Nazis, Socialists, Communists, et al), looooooove security!

I’m voting for Sarah this Fall as a write-in candidate.

Domestic travel TSA Question: Excuse me Sir, where are you going today?

Valid answer: None of your damn business!

[Celtic Cross]

So you would rather Obama than Romney?

Yes or no answer please.

[ctdonath2]

Yes, Romney sucks. That’s well established.
The Obama is 10x worse.

If you don’t have a viable alternative - someone who has a double-digit chance of winning the vote in 2.5 months - then lay off the “Romney sucks” meme.

Sometimes you do have to go with the lesser of two evils.
And yes, in doing so you still get evil.

Domestic travel TSA Question: Excuse me Sir, where are you going today?

Valid answer: None of your damn business!/Under which constitutional amendment do you have a right to demand such information from a free citizen of the United States?

[The_Sword_of_Groo]

The intent to board an airplane constitutes probable cause? Would that apply to your personal vehicle as well? Isn’t there some standard of pc required to search a vehicle, rather than simply driving it or attempting to enter it? Just for the record, that’s an honest question...I not trying to be a smartalec. Im just no legal expert so I don’t understand the difference. Could you explain, or did I completely miss what you were saying?

[ctdonath2]

It’s not a tantrum thrown when Romney is spoken of in less than glowing terms.

It’s that WE KNOW HE SUCKS - shut up about it already if you don’t have a g-d viable solution.

[ctdonath2]

He’s saying that’s the principle.
He’s not agreeing with the principle.
Yes it’s stupid.
File a 4th Amendment lawsuit already.

[SwankyC]

And, since it's not unreasonable, they can search you.

Well since you dont think it's unreasonable for a stranger to touch your wife between her legs, up to and including spreading her vag, my address is ...

Conservatives will become extint with people on our side that believe traveling is probable cause for anything.

[BobNative]

Thanks for the appropriate additional comment.

If it was a government owned airline the legal situation might be different.

Give it time.

[Norm Lenhart]

Again, get over it. Vote for whoever you want. But get off our ass about Romney or Obama as there are other options. You just refuse to take them. Your choice.
