Nope. You don’t get the long-term goal of the TSA.
They are expanding beyond the airport.
They are going into bus terminals, ports, they will be going into freeway rest stops and check points, they will be getting involved with rental cars, all this crap. It is to be able to close roads and restrict travel.
They advertised this past Tuesday’s Romney rally in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio as having “airport type security.” While they didn’t perform patdowns, we did have to empty our pockets and walk through a metal detector, all under the watchful eyes of uniformed security with “TSA” emblazoned on their patches.
Exactly. Checkpoint Charlie within our own borders.
It’s all about control! F that!
