TSA: Don't Mess With Texans, Not In The Airport, Not On A Bus
I love the guy who said they'd have to have a warrant to search his bag. Right on.
And no, you shouldn't have to forfeit your constitutional rights because you want to travel on public transportation.
"Bus Safe"? What they're trying to do is acclimate Americans to quietly and politely give up their constitutional rights. I'm all for good manners when it comes to being considerate to our fellow citizens, but let's all get a little more Texan before we find ourselves living in a police state.

All those guys at Metro should be fired.

Why are so many public officials so eager to implement totalitarian oppression?

Too bad we don't get this fired up about these assholes at the airports.
Explain how one is a violation of the fourth amendment, and the other one isn't. Regardless of what some pinhead federal judge thinks.
I remember when the Bill of Rights didn't stop at the door to the airport.
Of course you used to be able to smoke **inside** then also.

Once they extend this mentality far enough, why not have random TSA checkpoints on highways and streets? You never know who is riding in those cars until you check. Terrorists could use a car to ram a bus full of cute handicapped children. If it saves one child it will be worth it.
And you never know which houses might harbor terrorists, so we can look forward to TSA SWAT teams searching randomly selected houses.
And we need to secure the food supply, so we need to have the TSA set up check points at randomly selected grocery stores.
Are gas stations part of the transportation system? Check & double check.
Eventually they will be everywhere and we'll all be extra safe. I mean, you never know where terrorists may strike so, the TSA will have to be everywhere to keep the terrorists off guard.
Only someone who is Pro-terror could be against it.

An abridged version of the United States Consitiution - for the illiterates at the TSA:
"LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE".

I just checked -- unbelievably Texas is not an open carry state. I'd love to see a TSA agent come up against someone who is carrying open or concealed. Want to bet the TSA agent would stain their pants?

We do not want it on a train.
We do not want it on a plane.
We do not want it on a bus.
The TSA we do not trust.
We do not want them in our hair.
We do not want them anywhere.
