TSA is even more out of control

While trying to get to my airplane for a flight from Minneapolis back to Phoenix, I had an encounter with a TSA agent that proves what many of us thought about the TSA mentality. When I told her that conducting searches like they do is unconstitutional and that they are violating the 4th amendment to the constitution, she said that it was government policy, she is just following orders, and that we all report to the same boss. I reminded her that her bosses in the government are either elected or appointed government officials, so, unless citizens are actually subjects of the government, they are NOT my bosses. In fact, I am one of their bosses. She quickly back pedalled away from her "report to the same boss" remark, but it seems obvious that TSA officials regard Americans as subjects rather than citizens. This attitude undoubtedly flows downward from the top - Obama and Napolitano. In fact, Napolitano was once overheard saying how Americans should be grateful because no other government gives their citizens more rights than the United States. Apparently, she does not agree with the Declaration of Independence which clearly states that our rights come from our creator and that government is instituted to protect them. If the government gives us our rights, then it can take them away as Obama, Napolitano, and the TSA have been doing.

In a incident from last June, I started recording the goings on in a TSA line at O'Hare airport because a snotty female TSA agent was harrassing a woman traveller. She pointed out to another agent that I was recording, and that agent tried to intimidate me into stopping my recording. He got into my face and asked if I would "do him a favor" by stopping the recording. I asked him if he would to me a favor by letting me go through security without getting molested. He repeated his request. I then asked him if recording is illegal. He just walked away.

TSA agents are basically just bullies with no respect for American citizens. They cling to the illusion that they are protecting Americans, but it seems to me they are more interested in protecting their jobs and push people around. If Americans had a choice of selecting airlines that provided security that was less intrusive, more convenient, and lower priced compared to that provided by the TSA, it would be interesting to see how many people would switch away from the TSA affiliated airlines.

Now that we know terrorists would likely crash rather than just hijack an airplane, most of the security precautions are stupid and ineffective. Having reinforced cockpit doors and armed pilots will allow almost any plane to land safely if a hijacking attempt is made. In addition, hijackers will not quietly sit by when an aircraft hijacking is attempted. Even the underwear and shoe bombers were subdued by passengers - the TSA had nothing to do with stopping them.

The TSA should be dumped and airlines and airports should hire private security to protect their passengers, crews, and equipment.

Enforce Georgia’s Election Laws in Senate Run-off Elections

There has been a lot of talk about people moving to Georgia to vote in the run-off election for the two US Senate races. Leftists are urging people to move to Georgia, register to vote there, cast votes for the Democrats, and then move back home. Republicans have been wringingtheir hands over this and contemplating whether they should fight fire with fire and consider doing the same thing even though it is illegal. While I am pleased that some Republicans are willing to fight hard against Democrat election stealing, most are simply wringing their hands in ignorance. The Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, has already suspended voter registration until after the run-off election for people moving into the state. I learned this by calling the Election Department of the Georgia Secretary of State Office. This should mostly take care of the problem of out of state voters moving in to affect the results of the run-off election. However, Georgia law only allows people register...

Trump Re-election Accountability Project: List of Legislators Who Can Vote for Trump Electors

These Republican legislators in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia hold the power to push the Trump/Pence ticket over the top. These states have Republican majorities in both houses of their legislatures. Their election procedures and integrity of their elections are in question. It appears that substantial Democrat corruption has provided enough illegal votes or suppressed enough Trump votes to give the appearance of a Biden victory. Legislatures have the power to choose the electors and should do so in these cases. If courts require evidence that was destroyed by the Democrats in order to correct the results, they might not act. Legislatures do not need that standard of evidence. Even if they just think there was corruption based on their experience as legislators and citizens, they are empowered to act. This is a safeguard against clever criminals who cover their tracks well. It will require almost all of the Republican legislators in these states to convene the...

It’s War – Republicans Need to Fight

No objective observer can believe that the presidential election was conducted honestly or with integrity in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, or Nevada. This included late changes in election procedures, counting late votes, and counting harvested and other illegal votes. In many cases, Republican poll watchers were prevented from observing the vote counting process which, alone, sufficiently taints the integrity of the election process enough to invalidate the results. The vote results in these states should be challenged. Democrats and their allies in the main stream media and big tech are claiming Biden won even though the recounts and court challenges have not fully resolved the election. They prevented Republicans from making victory claims about Trump through their censorship, and even announced in advance that they would block premature claims of victory. Of course, their censorship only applies to Trump and his supporters. Some court challenges may be successful, ...
