In case the passage of more than two decades since the federal government imposed on us the “Transportation Security Administration” (TSA) have inspired any of your neighbors to blithely accept this towering insult to our rights and the US Constitution, perhaps the term “Government Checkpoint” might be a handy reminder of the police-state problem.
It’s a problem about which Goldsmith wrote for MRCTV last week, covering news that GOP Senators and Congressmen had proposed legislation to end the unionized federal management of the checkpoints, but that (of course) they wanted to maintain the claim of federal jurisdiction and simply farm-out the breaches of our rights to private companies that would do their pat-down, scan-into, rights-breaching bidding.
Now comes news of another head-fake to make us shake our heads.
Yelena Mandenberg reports for The Mirror US that our beneficent body-search overlords at the TSA are ready to let us carry a few more ounces of fluid through their Checkpoint Charlies.
