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. It’s all part of TSA’s 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. … It’s kinda ridiculous when you’re coming off a train - it doesn’t make any sense.”

Yep, those Christian terrorist are horrible and everywhere. Especially the ones with guns and lean conservative. /s
This could be the new theme song of Big Government and the TSA in particular:

And no one is objecting?
talk about an agency in search of an excuse to exist
didn’t comrade obama say during the elcetion that he wanted another national police force?
The TSA has long since become a sick and not-very-funny joke; originally intended to protect the American people from terrorists - most of whom, by a very considerable majority, being Moslem - it has, in the aggregate, caused more delay, inconvenience, hassle and just plain oppression than the Moslems ever did, and perhaps ever will.
We have met the enemy, and he is us.
That’s how I remember it and it looks like he’s getting it.
The worst is when they were asked to provide security at a high school prom.
What does that have to do with transportation? What does it have to do with anything "federal?"

TSA.....Welcome to one arm of Obama’s civilian security force that is “just as strong as the military”.
Remember, the celebration picnic that the SWAT team from the INS had the day after Elian Gonzoles was kidnapped?
I’m waiting for the “If you’re not guilty what are you worried about crowd”. I’m hoping that crowd is getting smaller and smaller.
Under this pRes_ _ent, an undocumented Tyrant,
Americans have watched their daughters and wives
fondled at will, as all Moslems remain exempt
for the crotch checks and ObamaCARE.
No organ of internal security can exist without
an internal threat. Just ask the soviets.
Here's the kicker. I was traveling for pleasure and wearing shorts. That TSA idiot actually wanded a bare leg.
Accounts will be settled soon, war must be waged against the domestic enemy within.
