i can't find the article, it's in a rail mag, but the same thing author writes in it happened to me. tsa(?)dhs? staring intently at passengers on light rail/public transportation.then they try to get you to "talk". i shudder to think what they hope slips from your tongue. some anti-gov comment perhaps? enough to get you arrested and sent to one of the "indefinite detention camps"?

stasi is right, fisher1949. police state is right. americans will never say enough, freedomfighter1945. it's too late. our rights have been stolen and what we have lost will never be regained. this experiment in democracy has failed. fourth amendment to the united states constitution "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." animal farm http://www.george-orwell.org/animal_farm/index.html "chapter ii the seven commandments 1. whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. 2. whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. 3. no animal shall wear clothes. 4. no animal shall sleep in a bed. 5. no animal shall drink alcohol. 6. no animal shall kill any other animal. 7. all animals are equal. chapter x years passed. the seasons came and went, the short animal lives fled by. a time came when there was no one who remembered the old days before the rebellion, except clover, benjamin, moses the raven, and a number of the pigs. ... benjamin felt a nose nuzzling at his shoulder. he looked round. it was clover. her old eyes looked dimmer than ever. without saying anything, she tugged gently at his mane and led him round to the end of the big barn, where the seven commandments were written. for a minute or two they stood gazing at the tatted wall with its white lettering. "my sight is failing," she said finally. "even when i was young i could not have read what was written there. but it appears to me that that wall looks different. are the seven commandments the same as they used to be, benjamin?" for once benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. there was nothing there now except a single commandment. it ran: all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others"

yes, subways have been attacked in russia, spain, india and england. and none of these countries harasses, strip searches, and gropes passengers the way tsa does. in general, the public goes about their business, refusing to do the terrorists' work by acting like panic stricken, cowardly sheep.

the american citizen is under attack by their own government. now we have descended into a complete police state, where anyone can be asked for their papers, have their person or property searched and detained, all without a warrant or due process. welcome to stasi america. papers please.

just what we need. more wasted money on security theater.

what will it take & when will americans say enough? just stop cooperating by the masses, peacefully of course. look at what ghandi and martin accomplished. just watch out for agent provocateurs who wish to incite violence so the military (can you believe it?) can be called in to police their own citizens.

amendment iv the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

welcome to the new soviet union. comrades.
