TSA Busted Running $100 Million Cocaine Smuggling Ring

TSA caught running $100 million dollar cocaine ring

A large number of TSA employees are facing life in prison after abusing their positions to smuggle over 100 million dollars of cocaine into the U.S. from Puerto Rico. 

Twelve members of the cocaine ring, including TSA baggage screeners and security personnel are facing charges of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute.

Aol.com reports: Authorities say as much as 20 tons of cocaine over an 18 year period was smuggled in.

They claim A baggage handler in the ring picked up cocaine filled suitcases at check-in counters and put them into TSA X-Ray machines that another suspect cleared.

After, the baggage handler took them to their respective flights, making sure no police or K-9 units intervened.

According to reports, up to five smugglers were used in each flight, each carrying as much as 33 pounds of the illegal substance at a time.

This comes in the heels of a homeland security report that found many of the major U.S. airports do not have full employee screenings.

“End The Assaults!” Ron Paul Urges: Shut Down The TSA

Authored by Ron Paul via The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity,

Hard as it is to believe, airline travel recently became even more unpleasant. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees being required to work without pay for the duration of the government shutdown resulted in many TSA workers calling in sick. The outbreak of “shutdown flu” among TSA employees forced some large airports to restrict the number of places mandatory TSA screenings were performed, making going through screening even more time-consuming and providing one more reason to shut down the TSA.

Airline security should be provided by airlines and airports. Private businesses, such as airlines, have an incentive to ensure their customers’ safety without treating them like criminal suspects or worse. Security personnel hired by, and accountable to, airlines would not force a nursing mother to drink her own breast milk or steal a stuffed lamb from a wheelchair-using three-year-old and subject the child to such an intensive screening that she cries “I don’t want to go to Disneyworld.” Those who claim that the TSA is necessary to keep us safe should consider that the Department of Homeland Security’s own studies show that TSA’s screenings and even the intrusive pat-downs are ineffective at discovering hidden guns, explosives, and other weapons.

TSA employees have no incentives to please, or even care about the well-being of, airline passengers. Instead, their jobs depend on pleasing politicians and bureaucrats. If we have learned anything since 9/11, it is that most politicians are more concerned with appearing to be “doing something” about security than actually reducing the risk of terrorist attacks. That is why politicians’ response to 9/11 was a series of actions — such as creating the TSA, passing the PATRIOT Act, and invading Iraq — that trade our real liberties for phantom security. Sometimes, pro-TSA politicians will bemoan the TSA’s “excesses” and even call for “reforming” the agency in order to pretend they care about their constituents’ rights.

Restoring responsibility for providing security to private businesses will encourage the development of new and innovative ways to more effectively provide security. In a free market, airlines and airports could compete for business on the basis that their flights are safer or their screening is less unpleasant then that of their competitors. If airlines were able to set their own security policies, they would likely allow pilots to carry firearms.

Private companies also strive to be consistent in providing services. Therefore, a company providing private security would never inconvenience its customers because of a “temporary shutdown.”

Because government operations are funded by coercive taxation rather than voluntary choices of consumers, federal officials cannot rely on the price system to inform them of whether they need to increase or decrease spending on airline security. In the private sector, businesses that charge more for security — or any other good or service — than individuals are willing to pay lose customers. Also, if businesses do not spend enough on security, people concerned about safety will be unwilling to use their services. Privatizing airline security is the only way to ensure that the “correct” amount of resources is being spent on airline safety.

In the 18 years since Congress created the TSA, the agency has proven itself incapable of providing real security, but more than capable of harrying Americans and wasting taxpayer dollars on security theater.

Congress should permanently close the TSA and return responsibility for security to private businesses.

More TSA Workers Citing ‘Financial Hardship’ As Reason For Calling Out Of Work

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge

As President Trump orders 46,000 federal employees back to work without pay (while signing a bill to compensate all federal employees going without pay after the shutdown ends), the word around the water cooler at the TSA is that, six days after federal employees missed their first paycheck since the shutdown began, more of the airport security agency’s screeners and other employees are citing financial hardship as a reason for calling out of work as the shutdown enters its 27th day.

Though it hasn’t released data about absenteeism witnessed since the shutdown, in a news release Wednesday about checkpoint operations (released as airports around the country cut down on security lines or, like Houston Airport, close whole terminals, the agency said “many employees are reporting that they are not able to report to work due to financial limitations.”

OD

TSA Administrator David Pekoske said that most employees who call out have been honest about their reasons, and the most common excuse he hears is financial hardship – like, for example, employees being unable to afford child care or transportation (i.e. no gas in the car).

TSA spokesman Michael Bilello confirmed this in a statement.

“We are hearing from our workforce that many of them are calling out not because they are sick but because they are unable to make it to work for financial reasons,” Bilello said.

There are no plans to punish workers who call out, the agency said. The TSA employs some 51,000 federal security workers who earn roughly $41,000 a year.

As of Tuesday, callout rates had roughly doubled from the same day a year earlier, with 6.1% of security officers absent, compared with 3.7% the year prior.

And now that Trump is ordering more airport security workers to return to work, expect this number to rise as the shutdown has no end in sight.

TSA FAILURE: Passenger Carries Firearm Past Airport Screening Onto Delta Flight

U.S. government shutdown drags into fourth week amid stalemate

January 14, 2019

By Jeff Mason and Steve Holland

WASHINGTON/NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Monday rejected a Republican call for temporarily reopening shuttered U.S. government agencies in order to encourage negotiations with Democrats on border security issues, as a partial government shutdown limped through its 24th day.

About one-quarter of federal operations have been partially closed by a lack of funding since Dec. 22 after Trump demanded $5.7 billion this year from Congress for building a security wall on the southwest U.S. border.

At a speech to an American Farm Bureau convention in New Orleans, Trump again urged Congress to grant him the money, saying drones, sensors and other technology cannot do what a wall can do to stop illegal border crossings.

Farmers, a key bloc of Trump supporters, have been hit by the shutdown as federal loan and farm aid applications have stalled and key farming and crop data has been delayed.

“If you want to help farmers, re-open the government,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a Twitter posting.

The number of airport security screeners not showing up for work continued to rise since the start of the disruption. Most Transportation Security Administration workers were required to report to work but they are not being paid due to a lack of funds.

TSA spokesman Michael Bilello on Monday said TSA had a 7.6 percent unscheduled absence rate nationally, compared to a 3.2 percent rate a year ago.

Many security officers “are understandably looking for other work to make ends meet, House of Representatives Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Democrat, said in a statement.

Democrats, who control the House, have rejected Trump’s $5.7 billion demand, as have Senate Democrats who are needed to pass most legislation in the chamber even though Republicans hold a majority.

On Sunday, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham urged Trump to reopen the government for a short period of time in an effort to restart talks. It is an idea that Democrats have been promoting for weeks.

“That was a suggestion that Lindsey made but I did reject it,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House for Louisiana. “I want to get it solved, I don’t want to just delay it.”

The partial shutdown is the longest in U.S. history and has seen Trump lurch from one idea to another in an attempt to secure money for building a wall that he argues is needed to secure the United States against illegal immigrants and drugs.

Democrats say there are cheaper, more effective ways of enhancing border security than constructing a wall that could cost well beyond $25 billion. They have offered $1.3 billion in new border security funds this year to help pay for a range of high-tech and other tools at the border.

When he ran for president, Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall but its government has refused. More recently, he has suggested that a renegotiated trade deal with Mexico could bring in the revenues needed to build the wall or that military funds and U.S. soldiers could be utilized.

Last week, the administration was looking into Trump declaring a “national emergency” and redirecting U.S. Army Corps of Engineers funds to the wall but he has said would not immediately take such action.

In December Trump said he would take responsibility for the shutdown but has since shifted the blame to Democrats. A growing proportion of Americans blame Trump for the closures, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The Mainstream Media Warns America Will Be Facing An “Economic Hellscape” If The Government Shutdown Continues

Is the mainstream media overhyping the economic impact of the government shutdown for political purposes?  Of course they are.  Once upon a time the mainstream media in the United States at least attempted to maintain a facade of objectivity, but those days are long gone.  In this case, they want to stir up as much public resentment against President Trump as possible in order to try to force him to end the government shutdown.  And when NBC News breathlessly declared that the U.S. “would face an economic hellscape” if this shutdown stretches on for an extended period of time, their article quickly went viral all over the Internet.

But will it really be “an economic hellscape”?

Here are some of the things that they say we will be facing in their “doomsday scenario”

  • 38 million low-income Americans lose food stamps
  • 6 million face an uncertain timetable for collecting tax refunds
  • 2 million without rental assistance and facing possible eviction
  • 800,000 paycheck-less federal employees plunged into dire financial straits
  • Shuttered parks and museums while overstressed airports cause tourism to tank
  • Federal court system slows to a crawl
  • Disaster relief money doesn’t get to storm-ravaged areas

Yes, things would certainly be unpleasant for a lot of people, and there would be a whole lot of anger around the country.

But such a scenario does not qualify as “an economic hellscape”.  I would encourage the folks over at NBC News to pick up a copy of The Beginning Of The End if they really want to know what the initial phases of a major economic crisis scenario could look like in this nation.

The most alarming item on their list is the fact that 38 million Americans could soon lose access to food stamps.  According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, that will officially happen by the end of February

By the end of February, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, run by the Department of Agriculture, would be out of funding — meaning almost 40 million low-income Americans could find themselves struggling to pay for food, said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist for the accounting firm RSM US.

Things would certainly be tough for a lot of low income people, and there would be a lot more traffic at shelters and food banks, but nobody would starve to death.

The worst case scenario would be if mobs of angry people started taking to the streets and rioting in large urban areas.  That is definitely a possibility, especially if this shutdown lasts for several more months.

But for the moment, most of the focus is on the hundreds of thousands of federal workers that are not getting paychecks right now.  We are being endlessly bombarded with sob stories about how much these workers are suffering after missing one paycheck.

If people can’t handle going a couple of weeks without pay, how are they going to handle things when a real crisis erupts in this country?

With no end to the shutdown in sight, some lower paid federal workers have decided that it is time to find a new job

Transportation Security Agency officers forced to work without knowing when their next paycheck is coming are no longer just calling in sick. Now, 18 days into the partial government shutdown, some are resigning, according to Hydrick Thomas, who heads the TSA Council on the American Federation of Government Employees.

“Every day I’m getting calls from my members about their extreme financial hardships and need for a paycheck. Some of them have already quit and many are considering quitting the federal workforce because of this shutdown,”  the official said in a statement posted to the union’s website on Tuesday.

I can’t say that I blame TSA workers too much for quitting.  It is an absolutely miserable job, and the starting salary for TSA security officers is somewhere “between $25,000 to $30,000 a year”.

Of course we don’t actually need a TSA at all.  Many of us would love to go back to the days before 9/11 when we could get on flights without having someone inspect our private areas.

Another aspect of the shutdown that is horrifying NBC News is the fact that no new beers are being approved right now

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau is out during the shutdown. That means the federal government will not approve beer labels or process permits, which translates into no new beers.

At this moment there are literally millions of people around the world that actually have nothing to eat and no clean water to drink, and this is what we are whining about?

I have an idea.  Why don’t we shut down the “Alchohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau” permanently and let people make beer without having to get permission from the federal government first?

As I have proposed, we could save enormous amounts of money by simply shutting down useless government agencies that we do not need.

But that would make far too much common sense to work in America in 2019.  We live at a time when the American people expect the federal government to protect them from just about every potential danger that you can possibly imagine.

Look, I don’t want to seem completely unsympathetic to the plight of all of these federal workers that are being used as pawns in this game of political brinkmanship.  Because 78 percent of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, that means that a lot of these federal workers are not going to be able to pay their bills, and that would be extremely stressful for anyone.  And at this point, thousands of federal workers have already begun filing for unemployment benefits

More than 4,700 federal employees filed for unemployment in the last week of December, compared with 929 the week prior, according to the Department of Labor. There is no federal data available yet for the first week of January. Unemployment rules vary by state; generally the government provides benefits to eligible workers who have lost a job “through no fault of their own,” for a maximum of 26 weeks.

But the mainstream media is blowing things way out of proportion when they start using phrases such as “economic hellscape”.

Yes, this shutdown is going to cause some significant pain for a lot of people, but it is definitely not the end of the world.

CANINE RACISM alive and well at the TSA as “pointy-eared” dogs get banned because snowflake children find them “scary”

(Natural News) The next time you spot a security dog at the airport, chances are it’ll be some kind of cuddly breed with floppy ears. That’s because the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has decided that dogs with pointy ears are too “scary” for travelers – particularly younger travelers.

La versión oficial del tiroteo en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles se desmorona

A lo largo de los próximos días, veremos gran cantidad de propaganda en los medios sobre la amenaza “terrorista patriota”.

 TSA Shooting Narrative Disintegrates

Kurt Nimmo
PrisiónPlanet.com
03 de noviembre 2013

La historia oficial del tiroteo en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles el viernes pasado empieza a desmoronarse.  El gobierno y los medios están haciendo todo lo posible para aprovechar el incidente como pretexto para militarizar aún más los procedimientos en los aeropuertos de la Administración de Seguridad en el Transporte (TSA) y para demonizar a enemigos del gobierno y el creciente movimiento de resistencia al llamado “New World Order”.



De manera similar a la narrativa generada por el Gobierno y los medios sobre el atentado con bomba en la Maratón de Boston y varios incidentes involucrando a francotiradores en los dos últimos años, los informes sobre lo ocurrido en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles están plagadas de cada vez más incongruencias.

Se informó inicialmente que el francotirador asesino era un agente de la misma autoridad aérea TSA. “Fuentes policiales dijeron al diario Los Angeles Times que el atacante era un empleado de la TSA que trabajaba en el aeropuerto”, informaron varios medios poco antes del mediodía del viernes.  “El hombre armado fue abatido por las autoridades después de disparar y matar a un compañero suyo de la TSA.”

Menos de una hora más tarde, se informó de que un “funcionario federal dijo que el atacante era un pasajero con tarjeta de embarque. Los funcionarios no creen que el pistolero nunca haya trabajado para la TSA. Fuentes policiales habían dicho anteriormente al Los Ángeles Times que el hombre armado era un empleado de la TSA.”

El New York Post publicó una fotografía gráfica y extraña del  supuesto sospechoso herido en el aeropuerto. Pero la foto contradijo un informe de prensa que indicaba que “el pistolero llevaba ropa oscura y un chaleco antibalas”. El individuo en la foto llevaba una camisa marrón y pantalones de color claro, no ropa oscura. Y, sin duda, no llevaba un chaleco antibalas. Si la foto publicada en el New York Post de hecho fue la del presunto agresor, entonces el informe anterior o es propaganda pura y simple o periodismo erróneo.

Luego vino la anticipada historia clarificadora para pavimentar las incongruencias anteriores. De repente, resulta que el asesino es un tal Paul Ciancia, un enfermo mental con un perfil perfecto para el estereotipo de “terrorista doméstico” antigubernamental solitario, continuamente impulsado por la Administración de Seguridad Nacional (NSA), medios oficialistas y varias organizaciones, entre ellas el Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) y la Antidefamation League(ADL). El ya común estereotipo terrorista doméstico ahora ejemplificado por Ciancia está siendo explotado por una serie de bloggers pro-gubernamentales que amplifican un mensaje de propaganda histérica sobre terroristas derechistas entre nosotros que deben ser abordados en última instancia por el gobierno.
El viernes a medio día se informaba que Ciancia llevaba un “manifiesto” que decía que él “quería matar a agentes de la TSA y de la policía.” De acuerdo con el Daily Mail y otras fuentes oficialistas la nota estaba “firmada con la abreviatura NWO (New World Order o Nuevo Orden Mundial).”

“Las opiniones de Ciancia parecen estar en consonancia con el movimiento patriota anti-gobierno, cuyos miembros se subscriben a la teoría de que una poderosa alianza secreta de élite internacional está conspirando para formar un gobierno mundial, también conocido como el Nuevo Orden Mundial”,  informó el periódico británico el domingo.

“Además del manifiesto encontrado, los investigadores están utilizando algunos otros escritos de Ciancia para construir el motivo que  le llevó a matar a un agente de la TSA el viernes por la mañana”, informó el Daily Mail.

Según el SPLC, la nota de Ciancia caracteriza a la anterior jefa de la NSA, Janet Napolitano, como una “lesbiana grotesca” y otras obscenidades dirigidas hacia ella.
Estos supuestos “escritos”, sin duda, serán utilizados para ampliar la supuesta necesidad para hacer frente a los radicales antigubernamentales violentos, es decir, cualquier persona que expresa descontento con el gobierno excesivo y el crecimiento de un aparato de Estado policial utilizado contra los enemigos políticos del régimen. El asesinato de un asalariado de la TSA inyectará el grado necesario de urgencia para hacer frente al problema de viajeros cada vez más enojados y agitados por los cacheos abusivos y violaciones de la Cuarta Enmienda cometidas por la TSA en los aeropuertos.

Los cambios incongruentes en la historia oficial ya se están desvaneciendo del mismo modo que lo han hecho en casos anteriores como el atentado con bomba en el Maratón de Boston.  El perfil de terrorista doméstico derechista contra el gobierno ya está dominado el centro de atención.

En los próximos días, una cantidad considerable de propaganda sobre el patriota terrorista se consolidará en los medios de comunicación. Las diferentes facciones dentro del movimiento constitucionalista amplio y creciente serán demonizadas. Se insinuará que permitir que estos individuos y grupos continúen ejerciendo su derecho de libertad de expresión pone en peligro la seguridad del público y la de funcionarios del gobierno.

Los medios y sus aduladores, sin duda renovarán el esfuerzo por socavar los medios de comunicación alternativos y sus figuras claves en los próximos días. Puede ser que eviten mencionar nombres como Alex Jones o Glenn Beck, pero la insinuación será muy clara.

Cualquier persona que critica al gobierno y sus operaciones “Gestapo” tanto en los aeropuertos como en las calles de Estados Unidos será tipificada como un potencial terrorista que va a asesinar a trabajadores del gobierno. Este es el objetivo principal del incidente en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles. El juego final es retratar a activistas que se oponen a la agenda para el Nuevo Orden Mundial como asesinos de policías mentalmente trastornados.

Gobierno y medios atribuyen el tiroteo de Los Ángeles a “Patriotas”.

Feds Move to Pin LAX Shooting On Patriots

Kurt Nimmo
Prison Planet.com
November 5, 2013

El FBI asumirá su papel tradicional como policía política a consecuencia del tiroteo en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles (LAX). En la noche del lunes, la agencia anunció que está investigando las creencias políticas de Paul Ciancia, el mecánico de motos en paro que presuntamente disparó y mató a un agente de la TSA el viernes pasado.

Ciancia (Hay que notar el apellido: CIA-n-CIA) al parecer llevaba encima una nota escrita a mano, en la cual denuncia al “Nuevo Orden Mundial”, a la TSA, a la anterior jefa del DHS, Janet Napolitano, y a otros funcionarios del gobierno.

En una presentación de una orden de registro para el teléfono móvil de Ciancia, el lunes, el FBI señaló “las preocupaciones acerca de un Nuevo Orden Mundial” por parte del presunto asesino.

El portavoz del SPLC y experto residente en el campo del nuevo orden mundial, Mark Potok, sacó a relucir una definición fuertemente política sobre el Nuevo Orden Mundial que ha sido digerido sin comentarios por los medios del establishment.

…”El lenguaje y las referencias de Ciancia parecen asociados de lleno al mundo de la conspiración y del movimiento antigubernamental ‘Patriot’ “…

…”El Nuevo Orden Mundial se refiere a una vieja teoría de conspiración que hoy, en su iteración más popular, afirma que las elites globales están conspirando para formar un gobierno mundial socialista que aplasta las libertades americanas. Con frecuencia, la raíz de la supuesta conspiración se remonta a la creación de la Reserva Federal en 1913 y la adopción de la moneda fiat o moneda papel no respaldada por el oro, como una vez estuvo en EEUU.”

Mientras tanto, los medios del establishment están haciendo su papel. El 4 de noviembre,  Diane Sawyer publicó una pieza en el noticiero de la ABC sobre el tiroteo mientras que inexplicablemente se inserta un clip corto de Alex Jones hablando sobre la TSA. El nombre de Alex Jones e Infowars.com se mostraban en pantalla. La inserción fue claramente un esfuerzo descarado para vincular el tiroteo con el movimiento patriota en general y Alex Jones e Infowars en particular.

También, en un informe sobre la familia Ciancia, la Associated Press insertó un contexto en pantalla con referencia a Infowars.com

…”En el barrio de la familia Ciancia en Nueva Jersey,  los dorsos de las señales de tráfico están adornados con pegatinas de publicidad de Infowars.com, un sitio web donde plantean ideas contra el gobierno como las mencionadas en una nota manuscrita por Ciancia.” , escribe Geoff Mulvihill de AP.

El FBI ha funcionado como una policía política desde sus inicios. El Predecesor de la agencia del Departamento de Justicia arrestaba y deportaba a libertarios o anarquistas en 1919 bajo la dirección del entonces Fiscal General A. Mitchell Palmer. A partir de la década de los 50 el FBI comenzó a acosar a objetivos enemigos políticos del Gobierno en el programa COINTELPRO.

En septiembre , la Unión Americana de Libertades Civiles (ACLU) caracterizó al FBI como una “agencia nacional de inteligencia secreta que participa en la violación de los derechos constitucionales de los estadounidenses que están en desacuerdo con el gobierno”.

Deputy won’t take action against TSA pat down opponents at Albany airport

The 13-minute clip shows the activists, identified as Ashley Jessica and cameraman Jason Bermas, handing out leaflets Friday in the common area just outside the security area on the airport’s second floor. The information concerned travelers’ rights to opt out of the full-body scanner used at the security checkpoint and to film any pat-down by TSA officials.

The two are eventually approached by airport Director of Public Affairs Doug Myers, accompanied by an Albany County sheriff’s deputy. Myers commands them to stop filming; Bermas politely refuses, but agrees to head downstairs to discuss the matter further.

The encounter goes downhill for Myers, as Deputy Stan Lenic ultimately points out to the airport spokesman that the pair aren’t violating any laws — regardless of whether they’re violating the airport authority’s guidelines.

“Obviously, this is your constitutional right,” Lenic tells the activists.

Please Die TSA


(above image: http://sadhillnews.com/)
Does anyone else agree that September 11th, 2001 was just another excuse to grab the genitalia of American Citizens? Talk about fear-mongering; if I don’t let the TSA grab my junk the terrorists will get me? If I let you touch me down there, then the real terrorists have won and I will lose the little self-respect I have for myself. Perhaps that’s what they want – to demoralize me and crush my spirit. I refuse to fly as long as TSA lives. So I look forward to the day TSA dies! Just as a disclaimer, I am not advocating the death of any human being on this planet. I am simply advocating the death of the unconstitutional organization known as the Transportation Security Administration.
It’s hard to believe that after the tragedy of 9/11 we have lost more of our constitutional rights in the name of security. Does anyone feel secure when TSA agents are touching people in their private places? It is time for TSA as an organization to die a quick and painless death. Long Live the Republic! Every time they touch our genitalia they are molesting the body, the mind, and perhaps our souls. At the very least, we need to respect the Constitution first and foremost to preserve our God-given rights!


TSA Administrator John Pistole believes that the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Aviation has “no jurisdiction over the TSA.” If a congressional committee has no jurisdiction over TSA, who does?

Headed by Rep. Thomas Petri, the Subcommittee is part of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (TIC). Pistole is expected not to attend the hearing on Thursday November 29, 2012, titled, HOW BEST TO IMPROVE OUR NATION’S AIRPORT PASSENGER SECURITY SYSTEM THROUGH COMMON SENSE SOLUTIONS. The overreaching actions of TSA are becoming common, but it doesn’t make sense to me.

Here’s a pretty face you might find in a dark room at the airport.

Former United States Secretary of Homeland Security Micheal Chertoff all-but admitted to Tyrel Ventura that controversial TSA screening measures are more for theater than terrorist prevention. Of course, the TSA episode for TRU TV’s Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura will not air on cable TV ever. Tyrel relayed this information about his interview with Chertoff recently on the Alex Jones show, during a broadcast for Infowars.com. So TRU TV refuses to show the episode on TSA – for whatever reason – and TSA head John Pistole refuses to attend a hearing on TSA’s “impact that the regulations and policies” of TSA “have on aviation passenger experience and the free flow of aviation commerce.”

This reminds me of when Federal Reserve Board of Governors Chairman Ben Bernanke told congress would not tell them where money went.

While members of congress call for TSA reform, the best common sense solution I see is to abolish TSA entirely, and go back to pre-9/11 status; and I believe we should do the same with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors – abolish them – and return to pre-1913 status.

The TSA website claims the “U.S. House of Representatives rules” “state that the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has no jurisdiction over the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)” and that is why “no representative from TSA will be present at the Subcommittee on Aviation hearing scheduled for Nov. 29.” Congressional oversight in matters like the TSA policy, the Federal Reserve’s usury, and Obama bypassing congress for intervention in Libya show how little common sense is involved in such serious matters. What is more shocking is the degree to which the U.S. Constitution has been ignored since September 11th, 2001.

TSA believes they have “modified screening procedures for passengers 12 and under and 75 and older while pursuing a multi-layered approach to security that includes behavior detection officers, explosives-detection systems and federal air marshals, among other measures both seen and unseen.” I believe if they are violating the U.S. Constitution they are treasonous.

Still, it’s a good sign that Congress is interested in “HOW BEST TO IMPROVE OUR NATION’S AIRPORT PASSENGER SECURITY SYSTEM THROUGH COMMON SENSE SOLUTIONS.” The most sensible option in my view is to get rid of TSA entirely and return to constitutional values in America.

Confrontation With TSA Agent Leaves Grandpa’s Ashes On Floor

(RTV 6)   A man’s attempt to bring the ashes of his grandfather home to Indianapolis ended with an angry scene in a Florida airport, with the ashes spilled on the terminal floor.

John Gross, a resident of Indianapolis’ south side, was leaving Florida with the remains of his grandfather — Mario Mark Marcaletti, a Sicilian immigrant who worked for the Penn Central Railroad in central Indiana — in a tightly sealed jar marked “Human Remains.”

Gross said he didn’t think he’d have a problem, until he ran into a TSA agent at the Orlando airport.

“They opened up my bag, and I told them, ‘Please, be careful. These are my grandpa’s ashes,’” Gross told RTV6′s Norman Cox. “She picked up the jar. She opened it up.

“I was told later on that she had no right to even open it, that they could have used other devices, like an X-ray machine. So she opened it up. She used her finger and was sifting through it. And then she accidentally spilled it.”

Gross says about a quarter to a third of the contents spilled on the floor, leaving him frantically trying to gather up as much as he could while anxious passengers waited behind him.

“She didn’t apologize. She started laughing. I was on my hands and knees picking up bone fragments. I couldn’t pick up all, everything that was lost. I mean, there was a long line behind me.”

TSA rules say a crematory container in carry-on baggage must pass through the X-ray machine at the security checkpoint.

But the agency’s own website says human remains are to be opened under, “no circumstances.”

“I want an apology,” said Gross. “I want an apology from TSA. I want an apology from the lady who opened the jar and laughed at me. I want them to help me understand where they get off treating people like this.”

The only way to change the system is by opting out of it

Author: Brian D. Hill

Source: USWGO Alternative News

Does anyone really believe that we can make any changes in such a corrupt system? Can anyone really make a difference when most people are working half to death in jobs with low wages then hardly have time even for family?

The only way we can change a largely corrupt governmental system is by first opting out of it by giving up consent to be governed which we are free to do in our current system of Constitutional boundaries and the Declaration of Independence that still applies to America. When a system is corrupt to the point where people including politicians are blackmailed, threatened, coerced, bribed or even legally forced to become corrupt then it is no longer worth fighting for and protecting. That doesn’t mean we should just throw in the towel and give up. That doesn’t mean a civil war either as that doesn’t solve anything. You need to keep peaceful and just give up your consent to be governed then that can make a real difference. If millions of slave Americans start opting out from their consent to be governed then the U.S. Government and the states will begin to take notice and fear the people out of a economical, political, and legal system collapse out of many angry Americans that give up on their faith in their Government.

Opt Out Day against the TSA was also a huge success and sends a message to the TSA that they can’t just hire pedophiles and grope whomever they want when they feel like it and then charge those that conduct the same gropedowns with sexual assault. When government laws become one-sided to where laws are selectively enforced then the very government we have has either become criminal or has lost it’s rule of law.

Government was only meant to exist for two things, to protect the Liberty and Security of the people. Those that sacrifice Liberty for Security deserve neither of them. Government was meant to be enforced upon man to protect the rights for the benefit for all mankind, and then protect their rights by providing a solid national security infrastructure such as a army to shield this country from foreign enemies, and a police to protect the people within it’s borders.

Now government has become the total opposite of what it was meant to be and suppose to be. Now government tries to use it’s power, forced taxation, and authority to take away peoples rights then classify any abuse against the people as top secret or protected by being given immunity from prosecution as if everything is Area 51 secured. Then people start disappearing or dying as if the people are the very enemy that our military has fought against for centuries. Government was never meant to become a gang, a mafia, to abuse the people whenever they feel like it. Even the elections have become a intimidation tactic and illusion to force people to vote for whomever the political party leaders want instead of what the people want, another abuse of authority.

When the American people realize what direction this country is really heading in they can choose to opt out of Government and become a sovereign citizen (Not talking about the group targeted by the FBI) not subjugated to the corrupt laws and Misrepresentation that has plagued our Government.

There are many that still try to keep their faith in the broken system but never get anywhere for years until death of old age. The only solution to a broken system is by opting out of it and denying consent to by governed by such a corrupt institution. Only then can we begin to form a new and better governing system that doesn’t have corrupt politicians on every front, on every level, and on many offices like a cancerous tumor.

Remember in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and even in my states Constitution (Your state could have it too) it states that the power is derived from the consent of the governed. The only reason the Government has power is due to all the focus, attention, and energy we put into the system. At any time we have a right to walk away from the Government and opt out of it if they refuse to represent the very people that are suppose to be represented and their rights protected.

House bill extends TSA intel sharing to mass transit

ShareThis

House bill extends TSA intel sharing to mass transit 22 Jun 2012 The Transportation Security Administration already shares intelligence it collects with airports. Now a House bill would expand TSA’s intel sharing to local mass transit systems as well. The House passed the bill May 30 and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs is now considering the bill. In an interview with The Federal Drive, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), the bill’s sponsor, said the bill creates “fusion centers” where TSA can provide intel to local law enforcement and emergency management officials.

House wants airline pilots to pack guns

ShareThis

House wants airline pilots to pack guns 15 Jun 2012 Congress refuses to gut the one program the Transportation Security Administration has offered to minimize: pilots who pack guns. The House passed an amendment in its Homeland Security appropriations bill that would boost funding for armed-pilot training by $ 10 million. That throws a sharp rebuke at both the TSA and the Obama administration, which proposed chopping financing in half.
