The 4th Amendment of the US 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" suffered another blow today when a Federal Court dismissed a Fourth Amendment lawsuit filed against the TSA for their screening policies.
Under the guise of "Defending the Homeland" TSA, commonly referred to (and rightly ridiculed) as the Department of Security Theater, goes to extreme lengths to grope, fondle, harass, intimidate and embarrass everyday Americans who merely want to get from Point A to Point B. Former fast food fry daddies, having reached the peaks of their sub mediocre careers have migrated by the thousands to TSA. These thugs, now armed with a modicum of power, shove their hands down pants, inside underwear, assault six year old children, ninety-five year old wheelchair bound elders, military (both active and veteran) personnel, and infants. No one is safe from the blatant rape of their 4th Amendment rights.
When will Americans say 'ENOUGH!" and begin to fight back? Texas has attempted to with a bill introduced, but eventually tabled, to make TSA's invasive searches a crime. Sadly, there are not enough of us raising the hue and cry. Some have tried and been charged with disorderly conduct by TSA's brethren in thuggery, local Law Enforcement.
Our Civil Rights are slowly being taken from us. Americans for the most part play the perfect role of Sheeple, having accepted the delusion they are being kept safe, allowing it all to happen, without protest. Benjamin Franklin said it best "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
They may eventually wake up, but I fear it will be to little, too late.
Welcome to the United Police States of America.
