TSA Porn Update: Groping Miss USA
From the 10th Amendment Center comes a pretty depressing story. It seems Susie Castillo, a former Miss USA, got a nice taste of TSA friendly-fingers at the Dallas airport last week – enough of a taste that it left her in tears.
Castillo was smart enough to put the thing on her camera phone, though, and at least record her reaction…
“I’m sure this woman was just doing her job. But she…I mean she actually…felt…touched my vagina,” she said. “And so I think that’s why I’m crying; that’s what I’m so emotional, because I’m already so upset that they’re making me go – making me do this. Making me choose to either get molested, because that’s what I feel like and, or, or, go through this machine that’s completely unhealthy and dangerous. I don’t want to go through it, and here I am crying.”
Charming. Welcome to air travel, courtesy of Frank Luntz Janet Napolitano.
Don’t forget – TSA is going to be unionized soon.
Last week there was an election to decide that fact, and out of the 43,000 TSA employees a grand total of 19,587 bothered to vote. Of that number, there was a virtual dead heat between the American Federation of Government Employees (which is AFL-CIO, which is Richard Trumka), which got 8,369 votes, and the National Treasury Employees’ Union, which picked up 8,095. There were 3,111 votes for “no union” – naturally, the 23,000 employees who didn’t show up to vote don’t count as votes against the unions.
So AFGE and NTEU will get to go at it in a runoff. Nobody knows when that will take place. A couple of months, maybe.
After that, TSA employees will be able to play Uncle Ernie with Ms. Castillo – or your wife, or your kids, or you – and if anyone tries to do anything about it there will be a union to step in and keep those employees on the job.
One of the pretexts set forth in Atlas Shrugged, Part 1 was that oil price shocks made air travel almost impossible and that’s why trains re-emerged as the dominant medium for passenger conveyance. Maybe they should have used unionized TSA employees as the airline-killers instead; by this fall that’d be more believable at the rate this is going.
DHS Scanners To Secretly Search Your Body, Vehicle and Home—X-ray Deaths Next?
Department Homeland Security and Police intend to use hundreds of new X-ray Back Scatter Vans and other scanners with long-distance capability to secretly scan and search lawful persons’ bodies—when driving, walking and X-ray Citizens in their homes. DHS plans to mount X-ray scanners on buildings and utility poles to monitor groups of pedestrians. Citizens that drive or walk to work or lunch in monitored areas may be radiated several times a day.
There is nothing to stop government agencies and police repeatedly targeting (persons of interest) on the street and in their homes with X-ray scans that may cause cancer or induce other medical problems—including individuals afflicted by poor health. DHS new scanning will record eye and facial features of pedestrians, so subjects can be identified for covert X-ray scanning. Consequently some Americans may be X-ray scanned every time they set foot on the street.
How could anyone prove his or her cancer was caused by (accumulated radiation) from repeated government X-ray scans? Can you think of one U.S. Government agency you would trust to limit the number of times and duration secret Government scanners can penetrate a person’s body with X-ray radiation, when walking, driving; inside their home? Citizens driving or walking to work, that must pass DHS X-ray scanners on buildings and utility poles, could be exposed to radiation several times a day. The press recently reported that X-ray scanners now used at airports are 10-times greater that what U.S. Government told the American People.
Currently Citizens can purchase small sensitive radiation detectors on key chains that set off different sounding alarms for each radiation level detected. Key Chain radiation detectors sell for about $160.00 and some appear capable of detecting government X-ray scanners penetrating their home, or their body when walking or vehicle when driving. It should be expected more pedestrians might start carrying radiation key chain detectors to learn if X-ray scanners on buildings and utility poles are targeting their neighborhood, the streets they drive or walk. Radiated pedestrians and drivers should protest, especially if they are being hit everyday with X-ray scanners.
The U.S. can’t become a total Police State until the 4th Amendment is either terminated or so watered down it has no legal effect. That will be the result if government / police are allowed (without probable cause or warrants) to expose the public to covert X-ray scans and scans at airports; train and bus stops and other check points.
One can’t help wonder if today’s outspoken Americans that lawfully defend the Constitution, e.g., writers and bloggers will be deemed combatants by U.S. Government; constantly stopped, searched, and questioned by TSA and police; forced to endure no warrant searches of their car, body and forced cancer causing X-ray scans. The Nazi Military and Police repeatedly searched and delayed Citizens labeled politically undesirable boarding trains and buses and driving to work to cause targeted Citizens to lose their jobs. Citizens were placed on (Nazi do not hire lists) similar to the lists U.S. Homeland Security started in 2010.
