Senate To Vote On Bill That Could Kick TSA Out Of Airports

TSA may be a nightmare agency, yet private companies would be worse as we have seen in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is more of the privatization of government funded programs. This is more of private companies using the government as their sole customer. Once they have these contracts the cost rise as they need to make a profit. As the prison complex, they will need more prisoners/terrorist airplane passengers to justify their need to make even more money. This is not a good thing. There will be less recourse for misbehavior. Remember Black Water then Xe and now Academi.

gee

I wonder how Rand Paul is going to vote on this one????

lets see how many of our senators actually care about us and the Constitution.

Alex talks about the TSA’s “wiener police” as the aviation Gestapo enlist thousands of fast food sellers and other vendors to spot terrorists.

This is as when the poor and uneducated became the overseers of the slaves. We all know how that panned out. This makes airport security secure that someone working at a fast food restaurant and it training could detect so called terrorist and make us safe. How bogus is the war on terror. This just serves as another way to pit the people against each other as Hitler did.

RFA

a sign of an totalitarian nation....is when they convince the people to become the tools of oppression.

Agreed Marshall. Hitler did not kill anyone. He convinced the people to hate and kill.

and we have the left and right doing so for "our own good"

seatbelt and helmet laws, food laws, government intrusion into marriage, security laws, social "safety nets", war against "terror" war against drugs, war against poverty... just to name a few.

all tools of oppression for "our own good" and the good of "society"

social "safety nets",

This is my biggest pet-peeve. In the 1968 Xerox special "Poverty in America" is was shown how poor minority women in the south were paid peanuts by the rich women whose houses they cleaned. Rather than pass appropriate labor laws and empower the poor working women by paying them what they deserved, which would have alienated the rich husbands, politicians created ocial programs to do what the rich employers would not. Another handout for the rich. This is with all social program which benefit those who end up with the cash and keep the recipient poor and oppressed.

One party gives to the rich directly and the other as a subversion through social programs. HEAP is meant for the energy companies and keep the price of energy high for the American people. Section 8 is for the landlords and helped fund the flight to the suburbs therefore helping the new housing construction market. Food stamps funds end up with the wealthy grocery chains. The medical profession and industry would suffer greatly without Medicaid and Medicare. Social programs take away the recipients vote on the supply and demand curve, keep prices up for all Americans and are meant for those who are the finial receivers of the cash.
