How long before the TSA starts setting up roadblocks on city streets?

"Indeed, it has already begun. Last September agents from Homeland Security, TSA, and the US Department of Transportation, assisted by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, conducted a counter-terrorism operation on busy Interstate 20 just west of Atlanta, Georgia. Designated VIPER (Visible Inter-mobile Prevention and Response), the operation required all trucks to stop to be screened for bombs. Federal agents used dogs, screening devices, and a large drive-through bomb detection machine."


Disturbing. If you carry a BOB and a hand gun as I do you fit the profile.

The solution to many here is to drive instead but you may still have to deal with the TSA. Car bombs are a favorite amongst home grown terrorists you know.

What’s next? manual body cavity searches? By the way, since the TSA has us all bunched up in line, what is stopping the terrorists from detonating a bomb at the airport? On busy travel days they could kill just as many people. What then?

Armed pilots and sealed cockpit doors will prevent another 911. This is tyranny.

Why not ? You could be the next Rosa Parks.

VMI77 touched on what is most disturbing in all of this. “everyone is considered to be an equal security threat” Everyone is a terrorist, even six year old girls until proven otherwise.
Soon we will have to accept certain terms and conditions to renew our drivers license including consent to random traffic stops for a pat down. All in the name of Homeland security.
