Congress Wants Your TSA Stories, They Say (For Monday's Hearing)
I just dropped everything I was doing and posted mine. From the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform/Republicans, on their Facebook page, seeking "travel experiences" with the TSA for a hearing on Monday, March 26:
ASK TSA LEADERSHIP: Have you had a "travel experience" with TSA? Would you like to know why it happened? Here's your chance. On Monday March 26, Oversight is teaming up with the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee to get you answers from TSA leadership. Post your TSA experiences and what you'd want to ask TSA leadership here, and we'll share/ask as many as we can during the hearing.
I have no illusions about this hearing. Here's what I posted on Facebook after I shared the link to the Committee's page:
I posted my story -- and the link to my wonderful, wonderful defense by my First Amendment Hero/Lawyer Marc Randazza. Please, post your stories of having your rights yanked away at TSA checkpoints for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. I have no hope that anything will come of this meeting other than some lipservice from the TSA, but the more outrage that is expressed, the better chance we have of stopping the erosion of our civil liberties that I see on so many fronts these days. Don't just recede into your comfortable American life. Get uppity -- like our forefathers -- when somebody tells you to bend over so they can better violate your Fourth Amendment rights...and any others they can reach at the time.
Thanks, Jerry, for alerting me to this.







I hope someone reminds them of TSA strip-searching Joe Foss - for carrying his Medal of Honor.
Everybody who presumed to lay hands on him should be flogged.
