TSA begins random road inspections in Tennessee, First State To Fight Terrorism Stat

....

Like Milpro guy, though, I bow to our new overlords and you should too if you know what's good for you.

Question: is bending over with your trousers around you ankles the same as bowing?

stay safe.

Mississippi does not have a monopoly on being civil, not by a long shot.

And I certainly agree with your statement.

 

[MilProGuy]

How many of those years were in the military? Seems you may have be sucking the Gov. teat all along.

Respectfully, that is none of your business, and certainly is not relevent to the discussion.

If you think military service is sucking the government teat, then you must not be a veteran of the Armed Forces. Only a civilian who had never served in the military would think such a thing.

I have driven trucks over the road for 13 years. They CANNOT inspect a truck at any time. They can inspect the load, but not the truck. I have NEVER allowed any search of my truck.

Thanks for the clarification. I understand the searching the inside of a truck; but I was under the impression they could do 'safety' inspections for the exterior of the truck at any time; i.e. portable scales?

It's payed for entirely from tax dollars, so it is a teat any way you look at it.

I'm not one of them. There are many things wrong in our government today, but I'd rather be a citizen of the United States of America, under our form of government, than in any God-forsaken, middle-eastern Islamic country who lives under oppressive Shariah law.

You do know that the actions of the TSA that you're supporting here go against our form of government...right? You talk about not wanting to live under oppressive law, yet you support oppressive safety measures by the TSA? You must be new here. I used to think like you before I got into the open carry movement. A couple years later and now I finally understand what freedom is. I used to think that it was okay to do things in the name of safety even it was against the constitution, i mean, it's for safety right!?!?!

You are wrong, perhaps confusing today's salvation army with the army that fought in VietNam.

SCENARIO:

You're traveling on an interstate highway to some destination within your state while openly carrying a firearm on your person (a legal activity within the state). There are heightened alerts based upon highly reliable information within the area in which you are traveling so the TSA has set up road blocks in select places to do cursory examinations of private vehicles. Yours is selected.

As you step out of your car, your firearm is immediately noticed by a TSA agent (who is poorly trained regarding the laws and customs of the state). He pulls a tazer and fires it at you with the expected results. You are then handcuffed and led to a trailer for further interrogation.


I see a number of laws broken here by the "authorities" but I would bet that they would not be charged or chastised for their actions. Let's say that instead of a tazer, the agent pulled his sidearm and shot the driver. Seeing this, several of the passengers, who were also armed, returned fire at the agents (which would probably be justifiable). In other words, a real mess can ensue over actions that many might deem acceptable by the government.

their is only one way to fix this & I am afraid it is getting very close to that time....RESET

Homeland Security is alive and well, and doing what it was intended to do in the good old USA.

The fact that we haven't suffered a major attack from despicable, radical Islamic terrorists in ten years is a testament to the effectiveness of the safeguards our nation has taken.

Holy crap ! I see that you have been drinking WAY WAY too much of the ole cool aid. Time to go get yourself deprogrammed

 

[Kirbinator]

Absolutely support this, after all there has been a serious rash of terrorism in Tennessee using truck drivers and big rigs to haul their massive dirty bombs in. After much effort through trial and error the Tennessean authorities have discovered that the only way to stop it is by random searches on the highways.

Yup, I know what you mean. I don't believe the words they say though. But everywhere they take them dirty bombs they got a red & blue light escort and guys with fully-automatic weapons, so they must be terrorists. Funny, they only seem to drive to Oak Ridge, TN -- but they don't stop nowheres.

TN is about the only state where cops were ready to pull guns on other cops while enforcing "civil forfeiture" of supposed "drug money". They didn't stop the drugs going up, only the shipments of money coming down.

That is not a search. That is an inspection. And they can ONLY inspect and you can watch them do so.

You do realize that if anyone and everyone could have carried freely on the airplanes that crashed on 9/11, the disastor could not have happened.

Nope. Most people will not carry, even when they can. It's about 1 out of 50, at best. Given four armed terrorists, the odds would be even, at best, on a 200-pax flight.

The odds won't improve until more people carry.

I started carrying a lucky coin after september 11th, 2001.

I'm glad I did, because we haven't been attacked since.

Thank you lucky coin!

I consider your lucky coin to be more effective than The Department of Homeland Security, and note that it has cost the taxpayers a great deal less for the results it has provided.

stay safe.

You've got to understand that I hail from Mississippi, where manners and courtesy are a part of everyday life.

Well. that goes a LONG way to explaining it all...

Manners and courtesy may be part of everyday life, but education, literacy, and common sense are apparently rare as hens teeth in the old "Magnolia State"...

That is an unfair attack, Dreamer. There is no need to insult him by insinuating that he is uneducated.

Actually, I think you made it a part of the discussion.

Per your comment I underlined: Challenge.

 

[MilProGuy]

Nope, read his posts. He has been a troll since day one.

Really.

Just because my opinions don't fit in with your world view, I'm a troll? Ok.

 

[HandyHamlet]

No, you are a troll because you post in every thread. And every post is purposely designed to go against common sense, the spirit of the thread, and to garner a response. You also post without even reading the OP or the thread itself. Multiple times now you have posted you BS only to have a member have to take the time to correct you.

That Sir, is why you are an epic troll.

From what I have gathered, these "security" teams have been doing things like look at 18 wheelers, and screening bus passengers in Tennessee.

Also, from what I have gathered, they screened bus passengers as they got off the bus, not on. Looking for info to confirm this, but it seems this is what they have done recently.

I have not heard them pulling over individual cars and trucks, yet. (Good luck with that, TSA...)

These guys really need to be restrained. They are more risk than the terrorists they are supposed to be protecting us against...

As for the real police departments out there, why are you not fighting this? The TSA is acting like you cannot do your job of protecting...
