Adam Kokesh Asks TSA Agents: "How Many Terrorists Has The TSA Caught?"
Via @reasonpolicy:
The answer, of course:
NONE.
Of course, none of these TSA workers are either smart enough or honest enough to reply with that answer.
Also, check out the TSA workers he's interviewing. They seem like sharp tacks to you? These are the people "protecting" us from...getting through the airport ungroped.
Kokesh tells one TSA worker who wants to know who's asking that he's asking as a taxpayer.
"As a taxpayer, we not gonna answer you," the TSA guy says to him.
The intimidation tactic by the mustachioed TSA worker is particularly disgusting. Here's a citizen wanting to know how our tax dollars are being spent, and that's cause for intimidation -- not answers.
Hehe, none naturally. They've caught so many potential terrorists meaning 0 - 5 year olds and plenty of grandmothers all of which are so intent on blowing or hijacking up a plane. Nope, they're not going to visit their families for Thanksgiving, they have murderous intent and the TSA must ensure that EVERYONE but Muslims suffer. Muslims didn't attack America on 9/11. Those hijackers were simply frustrated terrorists who were mad at America and took means into their own hands.

I'm ashamed to admit I would have been intimidated by the mustached villain. I do rebel by refusing to go through the new "see through to your genitals" machine so I take up as much time as I can and cause as much of a problem as possible, but we all need to push back the way Adam is. We all need to sign the petition to End The TSA and get rid of these baboons once and for all!

I am afraid and feel sick every time I go to an airport, and only because I'm engaging in the now apparently borderline criminal act of using my First Amendment rights to complain about government overreach.
I am beyond grateful that First Amendment lawyer Marc Randazza is so devoted to civil liberties and chose to defend me for standing up for ours when I was at my fiscal worst since my 20s. I could not have afforded to hire a lawyer -- but, then again, I feel I also can't afford to not stand up for our Constitution.

We need to start taking up these petitions AT the airports, while people are waiting to pass through the TSA "checkpoints".
I wonder how the TSA would like that?

They'd respond by detaining you of, course, Robert. Don't you know it's illegal to excercise your First Ammendment right at the airport?
At least, thats what they'll tell you at the time.

I think most of them do know how many terrorists the TSA has caught.
The TSA hasn't caught any terrorists, but they haven't missed any either - because there haven't been any for them to miss. Otherwise we'd have heard about it and it would have been used as an excuse for even greater violations of civil liberties.
The whole threat of terrorism has been blown out of proportion to justify government actions that wouldn't have been tolerated otherwise.

"Muslims didn't attack America on 9/11. Those hijackers were simply frustrated terrorists who were mad at America and took means into their own hands."
That's a good point. We must ask ourselves: what did we Americans do to anger the TSA? Have we been imperialist towards them? Insensitive to their culture? We must learn to respect their values as morally equivalent to our own. Diversity!
