The expansion would erase one of the last remaining differences between the US and a total police state; namely, the ability to travel internally without being under police surveillance.

[snip]

Many of the same methods that now restrict foreign travel will be used within America because the same agency will handle both: the TSA in its many manifestations. They might be called BASE agents or VIPRs (Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response), like the ones who partnered with law enforcement in 2011 in Tennessee to conduct random "terrorist" checkpoints on highways. They may be the specially trained clerks who sell you a ticket . But TSA agents in whatever guise are coming to the highway, bus stop and train station you frequent.

The terrorists have won, as my father says all the time. I keep thinking back to Steppenwolf’s song, “Monster,” from 1969, “the police force is watching the people.”

Once these jerkoffs have total control they’ll unionized and we’re screwed.

It’ll be impossible to get rid of them.

The police state grows. Who are your neighbors? Spatzi ????

The worst of terrorism is what is coming from our own government. Nothing terrifies me more than big, unchecked government. The states better start resisting.

I expect a full blown balls to he walls violent gun grab from the Government any day now.
I expect them to use the national guard by order to ransack homes and kick in doors of
anybody suspected of owning a firearm for any reason. And expect them to place a reward
hotline in advance concerning information towards anybody owning a firearm. And once
being targeted by anybody who hates you, you will become the target of the forces to be.

Sue the Government? Ok, stand in line. But you'll have already lost your weapons and rights.
See you in court in five years after the fact.

Most Americans will sit idly by and allow this to happen because they will be told that
only criminals need guns, and any intervention or protest will be cause for arrest.

This can happen at any time, without any warning. And there isn't a damn thing
anybody will do about it accept die trying.


The new Governmental national army defense force is the TSA.
Unregulated and unapproachable/stoppable by any legal means, at all.
Don't think for one min that the Republicans will stop anything like this
from happening, because they know that eventually it will be their turn to
wield the scepter of POTUS-Power once again.

The TSA, ran by union thugs, has to do something to justify their jobs.

Whining and sniveling is a waste of time...We didn't listen when there was still a possibility of doing something about all of this. That time is long past...

Just bend over and spread'em!

Americans are now outnumbered by those who rule, and those who want to be ruled, by about 55% to 45%.

Unless the concept of "thinning the herd" is adopted on a wide scale, we and our descendants are in for many, many centuries of tyranny on a scale of completeness that has never existed before.

Herr Zero’s brown shirts.

Refuse them outside of the airport.

They have NO AUTHORITY to be on your highways or streets despite their assertions to the contrary.
