TSA Thugs Now Searching For Silver And Gold

Written on by V2A, Filed under

The TSA has been known to download the contents of flyers’ laptops and smartphones, and to take cash. Now they search and question travelers who have as few as 8 coins. This is totally outside of the law, and amounts to an internal customs check point. This is a federal power grab!

    You can just boycott the airlines. I know its not nearly as convenient, but I’ve been doing it since they started the full body scanners. Road trips & my dramamine! It all works out somehow. If you subject yourself to them, knowing full well that they are there AND the corruption, which also isn’t new, then its partially your own fault.
    Just say no. Don’t go. When the airlines start hurting more, then THEY’LL do something about it.

    No more flying for me. Moved back from Hawaii to Florida so as not having to fly anymore. Just got back from a trip to Europe, Amtrak to NY, the QE2 to England, Euro Star to Paris , train to Spain, Disney back to Florida. TSA stole out of my luggage years back. I do not like thieves and am afraid to fly because all I see when I look at a TSA agent is a thief. I have no respect for these agents. I do have respect for Alex Jones. The Web use to have articles on the TSA personnel who were busted for thieving but the web has been scrubbed of any negative news on TSA. This article will be soon join such articles.
    Calling Alex Jones a nut because one disagrees with him on one issue without substantiating your reasoning just shows most thinking people how unreasonable one is. The films posted by Alex Jones clearly demonstrate a controlled demolition of the previously damaged buildings that were about to fall haphazardly potentially killing tens of thousands.

    Has there ever been a bill introduced in congress to abolish the unconstitutional TSA?

    • Chuck

      No, it employs too many unemployable people

  • Guest

    TSA will never be abolished. May change form, or get a new coat of paint, but the power they have assumed is just what the basically socialistic government craves.

  • Chuck

    TSA has a solid place in our basically socialistic government and may morph into various forms. However, it is here to stay if for no other reason tha it emlopys thouisands of otherwise unemployable people.

  • buck

    The TSA is that private civilian army Obama spoke of , and it is in complete violation of the constitution , of course the constitution is completely irrelevant to him .

  • Bill

    TSA has assumed an enormous amount of power and the socialists in the Congress are not about to relinquish that power. Basically, it is another of those useless Federal peograms that employs otherwise unemployable people.

  • Neta Rice

    TSA – another huge non needed government agency. When they first decided to created yet another Federal law enforcement agency, I aked why. There are already scanners, police, etc. at every airport. The reply was "They aren't trained." Are your newly hired personnel trained? They will be. Okay, why not train the personnel already on board? Why create another Federal law enforcement agency – there are already about 100? No answer. Big Government is killing us….

    Canadian here…I used to fly to the US to go to trade shows, visit friends & family, now there is no way I will get on a plane to the US, or fly over the US and I am more than a little upset over this, the US was like my second home. The treatment I received at the hands of the TSA was disgusting. I'm sure this will happen up here in Canada soon as well. Bon Chance to us all.

  • I Remember America

    Just what are they trying to say? They did not take his money so what are they griping about? All he had to do was tell them it was none of their business. That coins are not considered a dangerous weapon, so why all the questions? This video does not make any sense. I think these two have no idea what they are doing. They did not prove a point at all. Vision to America, pay attention to what you are putting on your site, ok?

    THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE COPIED AND POSTED EVERYWHERE.IT IS JUST COMMON SENSE TO STOP THE STUPIDITY IN GOVERNMENT NOW.
    Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all
    sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th
    amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months
    & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in
    1971…before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to
    the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the
    land…all because of public pressure.

    Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of
    twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do
    likewise.
    In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the
    message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

    *Congressional Reform Act of 2011*

    1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office
    and receives no pay when they are out of office.

    2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All
    funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security
    system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system,
    and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for
    any other purpose.

    3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans
    do.

    4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay
    will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

    5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the
    same health care system as the American people.

    6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American
    people.

    7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.
    The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen
    made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor,
    not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours
    should serve their term's), then go home and back to work.

    If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take
    three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is
    time.

    THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.

    Jones is two faced. After what he did to Jack Blood everything he has to say is just controlled opposition to me. He found a nitch and got on the wave when it first started gaining momentum and now people see him as a pillar of truth.

  • Nanna Gail

    Hi folks: You know, I am a senior citizen who is not in very good health at this time. I would love to go back to my country of origin, Australia, to visit the one sister I have left and my brothers, nieces and nephews, before I die, but, I am a cancer survivor and would refuse to go through that cancer causing machine, and I also have a knee replacement. We all know what happens to people with replacement parts in their bodies, with the TSA "Pat downs". I am here to tell you, if any deviate tried to touch me in ANY private part, as old and weak as I am, I think I would take them down with my bare hands.
    I was brought up in a very stict, "moral and Christian family", and that "pat down" would offend me deeply.

  • Mamma Gail

    Part two Also, I would not allow them to touch either of my two beautiful grand childre, who are three and five years of age. So, you see my predicament. I either go to the airport, get the "pat down" and be totally humiliated, and in the process commit assault and go to jail, or I stay right here at home and never get to see my siblings again, or, I suppose I could jump into a row boat and try to cross the ocean. The folks at DHS should be jailed for implementing these procedures.

  • Nanna Gail

    Ooops! Sorry, the keys must have got up and moved on me, the prvious post was from me. Nanna Gail NOT Mamma Gail. Although I AM both . LOL.

  • LMB

    Sorry to tell you but, TSA does not confiscate property at the checkpoints. According to federal law you have three choices; discard the item, take it to the car or give it to someone who is not flying and third, put the item in your checked bag. So maybe there are four things by what i just said. The reason they need to look at the bag with coins is the fact that the coins are metal and block the xray's, Duh! If the TSA agent searches the bag its to see if your hiding something behind it. You guys are getting paranoid!

    there are NO LAWS for OBURGLAR HE IS A PUNK ASSED SMALL TIME chicago PIMP.

  • THe Gizmo

    I don't believe even informed people want to read to see this!

  • WilliamJW

    The answer is simple. First get right with God. Then if you don't have any weapons, go out and get yourself at least one reliable weapon. Next, start stockpiling can goods, oatmeal, water, water proof matches, batteries. Go online or buy a book on survivalist skills. We are all going to need them soon if obama is re-elected in 2012.

  • Mike

    Is there one documented case where the TSA has caught a Terrorist before boarding a plane? They would rather get their feelies in patting down 8 year old girls and 90 year old great grannies in a wheel chair. The American People are not getting much bang for their buck with TSA.

  • Downs1

    Obama's elegibility is the biggest issue we have! If he goes, his Czars go! If his Czars go, the Transportation Czar goes and the TSA can be taken down . . . of course it means more "unemployment," but in this case it's a good thing! Only problem is, Speaker Boehner has no desire, nor will to do what he needs to do! I mean, some of the TSA Agents and the Transportation Union workers in Ohio may not vote for him! So work your way back and you may get a clue as to why Boehner won't tackle the issue of Obama's elegibility. Sounds ridiculous, but that's how they think! It's a matter of "chess," not a matter of what's right or wrong! This could be "tongue in cheek" but is it!

  • Marlin

    I always said that TSA was a bad idea that would trade our freedom for a false since of security. The intent was to stop potential terrorist, not harass American citizens. Now any hindrance to potential terrorists is minimal and citizen's are harassed, lose their freedom of speech, Their rights against unlawful search and theft are suspended. Has this false since of security worth the price we are forced to pay?
