The TSA Is Coming To A Highway Near You

Rep. Marsha Blackburn

One of the great honors of my service to Tennessee is having the opportunity to represent Ft. Campbell which is home to the storied 101st Airborne, the 5th Special Forces Group and the Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment which piloted Navy SEAL Team Six during the raid on Osama Bin Laden.

Each soldier who calls Ft. Campbell home has gone through some of the most intensive training on the planet which pushed their minds and bodies to their physical limits. In the end, those who make the cut have earned the right to be part of our United States military, are honored to wear its uniform, and are serving on the frontlines in the fight against global terrorism.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for our nation’s Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) who Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano contends are our nation’s last line of defense in fighting domestic terrorism. Unlike “hell week” which faces potential Navy SEALs, becoming a TSO requires a basic level of classroom and on the job training. In many cases this rigorous training is less severe than the requirements of becoming a security guard in most states.

  1. This is the government absorbing more power over us, creating more reasons to search and defile and detain the masses; creating more police forces, armed forces to force the will of the few on the many.
    But the Rep. here does not call for the repeal of unconstitutional TSA powers, like their warrantless and arbitrary searches of our cars. She calls instead for more training, she wants the TSO’s to have more power, not less.

  2. CHICAGO (CN) – A family claims Chicago police broke into their house, urinated on their mail, spit in the coffee maker, stomped and slapped them and told them “You’ve been punk’d,” while searching for someone who had not lived there for at least a year:

  3. Denial of due process is routine SOP :

    revolutionarypolitics.tv/video/viewVideo.php?video_id=18058title=police-state-america—wanna-file-a-police-complaint–wanna-get-arrested-for-trying

    …in California , before filing a lawsuit against LEO one must pass through Administrative Appeal Process which begins with a complaint against the offender. Failure by the offender to provide the complainer with the complaint form entitles the latter to proceed directly to the court with a civil lawsuit.

  4. I ain’t stopping!!

  5. “Good article”
    “This site is one of the only sites that actually confront the real problems in the real world.”

    She never questions the bin Laden story, how wars are declared legally, the existence of standing armies, or the violation of Posse Comitatus.

  6. I think I would ask for a regular cop to be there and a search warrant to be provided. I think that we still have a few rights left but I could be wrong.

    • These quota cases consider themselves exceptional people under exceptional circumstances.

    • Ask these TSA POS if they know about 42 U.S.C. § 1983 : US Code – Section 1983: Civil action for deprivation of rights.

    • Exactly! Also the time is now that we need to decide what we are going to do if/when they decide to violate our rites and/or sexually assault us.

  7. I drive all over the country for my job. I have not encountered these thuggy drones yet. I carry guns, stun guns, police extention club, brass knuckles with death spikes, cameras, and pepper spray. if I encounter these turds on the highway, I will demand a cop and ask for a search warrant if they even attempt the search and demand the thuggy drone TSA turd not come near my car. I do no that is these check points pop up everywhere my guns come out and a lot of TSA and cops will die. I hope they have lots of body bags and ambulances for them. They will need them.

  8. Blackburn is on who voted for HR 347, on her usual pace with the rest from Tennessee…..
    Alexander
    Cohen
    BUT for some reason Corker is NOWHERE to be found on the vote roll.

  9. I’m sure he has bills to pay too. Try to be a little understanding. More money means more ammo so to speak.

  10. My 1st-grade teacher warned us to “Keep your eyes open because America is becoming more like Russia, and Russia is becoming more like America.”. That was 30-plus years ago in Newport, VT! Sadly I’ve forgotten her name. I don’t know what else to say except I hope to whatever God(s) there may be that our great country soon returns to how we should be. Thank you Infowars for getting the message out there. NSJ-

  11. I cannot believe people are not outraged by this. Highway checkpoints? Are you kidding me? What could be more fascist than a friggin checkpoint. Btw have u ever been thru a dui checkpoint before? It causes a massive traffic jam and is horrible to be searched when you are innocent. You know. I put these articles on my facebook posts and no one ever responds. But some fool will write about angelina jolie and there will be 35 comments. Which is exactly why we are in very very bad trouble. No one cares..

    • Well, when the time comes, they can’t say we didn’t try to warn them…

      It is disheartening sometimes, but don’t let it stop you.

      • Also, I recently posted on Facebook about the expected 30,000 drones over our skies very soon. Not 1 comment. Some lady posted, ‘I LIKE CELERY’ and got 16 likes and. 40 comments.

        • Screw Facepuke. That crap is for sheeple. This site is one of the only sites that actually confront the real problems in the real world.

        • tnrs: it is as you said, “…we are in very, very, bad trouble”. if “celery” wasn’t so utterly important to those people on facebook, some may have actually replied or commented to you.

          i’m getting a very bad feeling of impending doom; not like the everyday feeling that all is going into the shitter, but several levels higher like i better really hurry to get ready.

          may we all measure up when the time comes. and i wish all of you the best, during the worst of times.

        • I do the same, and get almost no comments. Let somebody post about the Kardashians though, and the comments will fly. Very sad – people like being trapped in their New World Order dreamlands.

        • i call it farcebook. it is nothing that it claims to be (they don’t delete your info after 14 days of you being “deactivated.” i knew they didn’t, but i had to test it anyway). it is a bulletin board in a police station, nothing to do with “connecting” with people. i have no respect for it. don’t use my real name, have a picture of Hunter S. Thompson or somebody, never my face. i use it only for infowarrior posts. anyone who would post about celery or angelina jolie on a police station bulletin board should be kept at a distance, because suckers and fools are dangerous rats. even if they don’t know it’s a police station bulletin board. i have no respect for it at all. HOWEVER, a few people have warmed to my ideas. of course, i’ve lost a lot of “Friends” as well. good. nothing worse than a fake friend. a few people have opened their minds because of my posts. it takes years…

  12. How annoying to open an article only to be subjected to a 15 second pop-up advertisement. Don’t get any bright ideas, AJ.

    • No doubt. Good article, though.
