TSA's Continuing Success In Continuing To Violate Our Bodies And Rights
Jeff Pierce at Freedom To Travel USA emailed me:
The gutless courts - and yes, they are gutless - have just concluded for the third time that the legal option to challenge the TSA procedures is first in Appeals Courts. Without getting into details, the courts are taking an old FAA legal procedure and agreeing that the TSA scanners and groping procedures are an "administrative order" which gets tried in the Appeals Court first. This would be somewhat defensible - IF it was an order. But there has been no public notice of the procedures, the procedures are secret, and most importantly there has NEVER been an agency administrative hearing with any complaintant! Without the hearing, there is no ability to have a trial whose sole intent was to review an administrative hearing. The latest affirmed victim is Mr. Blitz...TSA propaganda link is here.
“This decision provides more clarity to the process by which challenges to our screening procedures are determined,” said TSA Administrator John S. Pistole.
Oh, that's rich. What, exactly is the process, John? I don't like it when your clerks shove their hands in my pants. If I complain to your agency I get a form letter telling me I should love America more. And that's the end of it I guess.
This surely cannot be the intent of the legal process. What sort of bizarro world are we living in?

The TSA is America's KGB. Judges and Congresspeople are not challenging it because they're afraid of it. No other explanation makes sense.

Obviously the only soultion is to kill a TSA agent while they are preforming their duties and claim self defense against a criminal act as your defence.
Then its a matter of the TSA either releasing their "procedures" to the courts to prove the TSA agent was following orders. Which would make their procedures public records, or the TSA would have to keep their secrets by declining to prosecute the murder - which would open the door to all of us being able to kill TSA agents
