The Electronic Privacy Information Center doesn’t appear to be enthusiastic about the Transportation Security Administration’s expansion of it infamous airport pat-downs to highway checkpoints, bus stations, concerts, rodeos and other events.
The TSA said Thursday it has expanded its Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program “to perform warrantless searches at various locations.”
Fox News reported there soon will be behavioral detection officers and search dogs deployed at transit stations and other locations to enhance security.
The report quoted EPIC expressing a concern that the problem with “searching people outside the airport is that there are no real legal standards or probable cause.

I don't know, it might be dangerous stopping people on the highway, maybe they should rethink this idea.
ReplyDeleteGood point and there won't be many happy campers if they try it.
DeleteSo, having caught or detained (the TSA version of "created or saved") exactly ZERO terrorists thus far...they will now expand this wildly successful program into other venues not associated with 'Transportation' at all, not just bus stations, train stations and other 'Transportation' places.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, anywhere people are exercising their right to peaceably assemble, the TSA will be there, gloves on and fingers a'gropin. Isn't that what they're saying here?
Herr Goering und Herr Himmler vould approve, ya?
