SNIP...hopefully we can give Obama his "time for a change" wish come true this Nov.
Reminds me of Ronald Reagan's comment in the 1980 presidential campaign:
A recession is when your neighbor loses his job.
A depression is when you lose your job.
A recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.
Are TSA officers "Law Enforcement"?
TSA, what does that stand for? Truly Stupid A...................nevermind.
I just drive by their checkpoints and yell "sorry, american!"
Theoretically, those big rigs marked ‘not for commercial use’ are exempt from DOT oversight. Have a friend who hauls his demo vehicle in his and got stopped and played twenty questions w/DOT trooper. Trooper was going to cite him because he ‘won’ a trophy for his last race and called the trophy compensation. My friend told him to get a supervisor or two out there ASAP. DOT trooper backed down immediately.

Well since we have twisted the original meaning of regulate from "to make regular" to impose restriction upon, you would have a point except that the constitution is a legal restriction on what the government can do, and the 4th amendment applies to is a restriction on the federal government that would apply to commercial truck drivers too in my opinion.
Unless your within 100 miles of the US border, then DHS says no to the 4th. Google constitution free zone.
No. You may walk away from them at any time.
I live within a 40 miles of the border, and often work right next to the border, I don't care what DHS claim.
On a side note I saw something new not long ago and couldn't get a picture of it in time but a white SUV marked in large letters Federal Protection Police

The following information is probably fifteen years old. It is a list of federal agencies which authorize certain personnel to carry firearms:
The Environmental Protection Agency

The Department of Immigration
The Department of Labor
The Department of Energy
The Department of Commerce
The Bureau of Land Management
The Federal Aviation Agency
The Department of Health and Human Resources
The Department of Housing and Urban Development
The State Department
The Internal Revenue Service
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
So the FDA does as well, eh? Not surprised.
