TSA to enforce Amber alerts?
According to this article, TSA screeners will now receive Amber Alerts and be instructed to look out for children in the Alerts. This is in addition to the alerts that FAMs supposedly now receive.

Anyone care to wager on how long it will be before the TSA screeners detain a parent or a family traveling with a child that the screener thinks might be in an alert?

It sure feels more and more like the TSA and its screeners are using the supposed ability to circumvent civil liberty protections as a means to become a generalized law-and-whatever-enforcement checkpoint on the citizens.

Frog. Water. Heat rising.
