Ron Paul: Dept of Homeland Security, What is it Good For?
Get rid of TSA and FEMA. Late Friday night, Congress passed legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security for one week.

Police State America: TSA To Arrest Any Citizen Charged With Any Crime Trying To Come Or Leave The Country
Including taxes. The border is closing rapidly. First it was FATCA hunting Americans with
any assets overseas whatsoever. Now just two days after taking charge
of the committee chairing the House Homeland Security subcommittee
hearing, U.S. Rep. John Katko introduced two bills. He is looking to
effectively close the borders using terrorism as ... MORE

An Innocent Frequent Flyer Detained 23 Hours By TSA
by Ronnie Polaneczky. Apparently, working as a supervisor for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Philadelphia International Airport comes with a perk: You get to throw people in jail for no good reason and still keep your job. If that's not the case, why is Charles Kieser still employed by the TSA? Vanderklok, 57, is a Philly architect ... MORE

James Bovard: America's Fading Love Of Freedom
A very docile populace. Tea Party protesters, some Republicans, and many libertarians perceive the federal government as a vast engine of oppression. But are anti-Obama activists mistaken in presuming that most Americans still care about freedom? A Gallup poll released in July asked a thousand Americans, “Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with your ... MORE

Tammy Bruce: America Is Turning In To A Police State
The stench of tyranny is in the air. With so much happening internationally and the number of scandals, crises and general screw-ups of the Obama administration here at home, it’s worth noting a disturbing development here on the domestic front: a rapidly expanding police state. On my radio program last week I had the pleasure of ... MORE

Lawrence M. Ludlow: TSA = Thousands Of Sexual Assailants
The degradation of travel. Ever since the blowback retaliation of 9/11,
the government has subjected people trapped in the United States with a
constant stream of propaganda, war-making tax-theft, police-state
spying, and outright physical and sexual molestation at airports.
Although oodles of self-deceived parrots (my apologies to that noble bird ... MORE

Baker had found himself in a testy exchange with airport security
personnel during an enhanced screening, and they wanted an additional
search of his belongings. “We saw Bitcoin in your bag and need to check,” ... MORE

Brittany Varner-Miller: TSA Introducing Police State
Acclimating Americans to an inevitable fate?

Christopher Elliott: TSA Gives Fliers A Bad Feeling
Are they starting to sense the government is not us? If airport security is so good, why do passengers feel so bad? That's a valid question, considering how the Transportation Security Administration seems to be spinning its performance lately. The agency wants you to believe the dark days of body scans and pat-downs, of liquids, ... MORE

Drew Zahn: Big Brother Tells Kids: TSA 'Isn't Scary'
Coloring books, cartoons to placate terrified tots. Four-year-old Isabella Brademeyer had just learned about “stranger danger” at school, her family said. Perhaps that’s why the little girl was terrified when Transportation Security Administration officers at a Kansas airport separated her from her mother, told her to spread her arms and ... MORE
TSA's Mission Creep Making America A Police State
From patdowns to checkpoints and roadblocks. Ever since 2010, when the Transportation Security Administration started requiring that travelers in American airports submit to sexually intrusive gropings based on the apparent anti-terrorism principle that "If we can't feel your nipples, they must be a bomb", the agency's craven apologists ...

Scott Holleran: Abolish The TSA
It does not protect and defend, it endangers. It’s peak travel season, so it’s a good time to examine the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a government agency
created by President George W. Bush supposedly to protect air
passengers. As a recent government accountability report and deadly attack on Los Angeles Airport ... MORE
