So how does this prevent someone from driving up next to the bus to do damage?
Like detonating a bomb, as the guy in the video is concerned about.

Coming Soon!

TSA outside your home before heading to work or doing errands by car! They will check you out, pat you down and grope you!

TSA at school bus stations. Look out parents and kids, get a good education after getting touch by TSA every morning!

TSA at cruise ships. Get ready to enjoy the rest and relax on the ship. After getting a strip search before boarding! Enjoy the free drinks and all you can eat! You are gonna need it after what TSA does to you! ^;)

TSA love the Smurfs earning every taxpayers dollar! ^;) :rolleyes::mad:

and/or TSA at local subway/skytrain stations. The dreadful potentials keep piling up. :(

This is very easy to explain.

Greyhound riders tend to be low-income, young/elderly, minority, etc. In other words, groups with little power that have no other transportation options and are unlikely to resist the TSA.

Maybe strip searches before entering Wal-Mart?

TSA already appears at the Carnival terminal in Miami. And they were in the process of installing a NoS as of two weeks ago.

Is Carnival installing & operating the Nude-O-Scope or is TSA bringing one of theirs? I would think that state licensing requirements regarding radiologists & x-ray equipment could be brought to bear against Carnival.

Too bad hitch hiking is so dangerous, otherwise more of us might do it

...and these federal, state and local cops, in addition to the DHS and TSA, have absolutely no problem rubbing our noses in the Constitution. :mad:

I submit that John Adams, as a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and a key author of the document knew that this would lead to war with England, which in my estimation, the writing and signing of the Declaration would inevitably lead to violence and the Revolutionary War.

Adams as a political leader in Massachusetts had to have been fully aware of the gravity of his position and the firm knowledge that calling King George a tyrant and ursurper of the rights of man in plain language would not go over well with His Majesty.


It is commonly reported that John Hancock knew what he was getting into - and deliberately wrote his signature large, so His Majesty wouldn't need glasses to know who was giving him the finger.

The Declaration was a deliberate statement of defiance, as well as a statement of the rights of a free people and laying out the reasons for revolution. Have we gotten to the point of writing out a new Declaration yet? I think not, but I fear the downward trend I see, and think the possibility becomes a little more likely every day. Things like TSA's Nude-O-Scope or perp-frisk policy are, IMO, simultaneously indicative of the problem and are a possible cause for hope, in that they'll outrage more and more people and perhaps compel them to take some sort of pro-liberty action.

Hope that's not too much P/R content.

That's not what they're rubbing, or wiping, with the Constitution...:mad:

I would respectfully suggest to y'all that if you voted for a mainstream politician of EITHER major political party them you bear some responsibility for how we got here and where we're going.

Another reason to use video conferencing instead of travelling over to the US!

Haven't been able to use this line for a while, but here goes...






Don't blame me, I voted for Ron Paul!

State, County & local police depts had been getting Homeland Security grant dollars to fund their ongoing operations in the name of protecting America - in the spirit of interagency cooperations. :(

By playing along with the smurfs, fewer cops are getting layoff notices or pink slipped - :o

As for the Carnival lines, I wonder how much extra time they would need to clear several thousand pax (and returning off-duty crews going landside) embarking all in a span of several hours - given their tight turnaround port time. And, how about those ports in those popular Bahamas, Caribbean places, etc. :mad: - Worry about the bad guys blowing up a 100,000 tons cruise ship with a few ozs. of powder or a pocket knife, oh dear Lord ....


Civil Disobedience - America's proudest tradition .... (nonviolent means)

I do have a question for all Americans - when are you going to stand up and put an end to this? Everything is already in place for you to be stopped at ANY point for a full TSA style search and presentation of papers or you cannot go about your business. Given that this is now a fact... when are you going to roll that wheel off your backs and become, once again 'the land of the Free?'

I'll try hard not to go OMNI..."when" will happen when Uncle Sam's checks stop cashing, or they cash but the money buys nothing. The US citizen is loyal to the regime because he/she is paid to be loyal. When you count up the Social Securty/Medicare recipients, welfare receivers, unemployment rolls, and the millions that draw government paychecks at all levels (from teachers to the TSA) nearly every American has skin in the game, or a close relative who does.

Unlike other parts of the industrialized world, the U.S. has not had to face serious austerity measures yet. When that happens here you will probably see rank and file sheeple start to rise up. Until then, they sleep.

Pretty much. To put it bluntly, as long as the American people are able to eat and kill brain cells watching stupid TV shows, nothing will change. Even being physically raped by government agents doesn't phase these idiots.
