How about a full cavity search... in your car?

Good news for the moonbats like Boutons who favor a police state. After all, all government is good government, isn't it? And besides, if I wanted to look for hard-core terrorists, the fist place I think of is the highways of Tennessee.

Interestingly enough, as TSA officials like to routinely point out, their agency’s acronym stands for Transportation Security Administration, not the Airport Security Administration. This fact has extended the TSA’s reach has far beyond the confines of our nation’s airports. Many of my cons uents discovered this first hand this past fall as those familiar blue uniforms and badges appeared on Tennessee highways. In October Tennessee became the first state to conduct a statewide Department of Homeland Security Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) team operation which randomly inspected Tennessee truck drivers and cars.

VIPR teams which count TSOs among their ranks, conduct searches and screenings at train stations, subways, ferry terminals and every other mass transit location around the country. In fact, as the Los Angeles Times has detailed, VIPR teams conducted 9,300 unannounced checkpoints and other search operations in the last year alone. The very thought of federal employees with zero law enforcement training roaming across our nation’s transportation infrastructure with the hope of randomly thwarting a domestic terrorist attack makes about as much sense as EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson’s Environmental Justice tour.

... Furthermore, if Congress fails to act do not be surprised if the TSA gives TSOs another administrative makeover in the future. Only this time it won’t be a new uniform. It will be the power to make arrests as some TSOs are already publicly calling for.

Boutons has his faults, but I certainly don't think he's against civil liberties. He's the most hardcore economic liberal I somewhat know, but he doesn't support GTMO, DOMA, or any other kinds of civil liberty issues I know of.

"Boutons has his faults"

YOU LIE

"Boutons who favor a police state"

YOU LIE

Militarization and impunity of local police, and the metastasis of TSA alongside all the other such cancerous agencies, and the explosion if the PIC, is one way America is ed and un able. H-As will never get that bad genie back in the bottle.
