Tulsa Man Protests TSA

http://www.gtrnews.com/greater-tulsa...n-protests-tsa

Violations of my first and fourth amendment rights at Tulsa ’s airport are a disgrace. We don’t give up our God-given rights just because we fly,” states Colannino.

Colannino plans to protest as often as he can until the Tulsa airport “quits feeling up passengers and tosses its body scanner in the dumpster where it belongs.”

People are definitely starting to learn about the risks of going through a TSA checkpoint. I think I will start to wear my NoS shirt again

The Tulsa individual obviously isn't a "fare," so I wouldn't worry about him.

Having trouble remembering the term "inalienable rights"? Can't quite understand the US Constitution and how the Declaration of Independence is the basis of it?

What exactly were you taught on Constitutional limits of "administrative search" by the TSA?

And this from an agency that actually knowingly hires a convicted felon (for armed robbery) to work as a screener in Richmond.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

sound familiar? probably not to TSA folks. Comes from the Declaration of Independance.

Apparently TSA folks don't like any mention of a higher law than the one of brute force and power that they operate under.

I don't believe the OP in any way stated or even hinted that God authored the Constitution of the United States. Perhaps you and your whole disfunctional organization should revisit elementary school civics class. But then again, I seriously doubt that there is any hope that anyone within TSA understands or cares about God given rights.

Alas, sadly way to late. TUL was one of the early pilot program strip search scanner test spots. Way in advance of most of the rest of the country. After the good, wholesome, law abiding citizens of Tulsa readily submitted to being strip searched for a year or so while the rest of the country slept, TSA, declared, "no one at TUL complained. We're good to go nationwide with these warrantless strip searches." The rest is history.

Raising hell and screaming bloody murder at TUL like a couple of years ago might have made a HUGE difference.
