User ID: 180153 Germany 08/03/2007 01:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Federal Agents Searching People at Indianapolis Bus Stops: Air Marshals Patting Civilians Down by BlueDotRedField Thu Aug 02, 2007 at 10:25:34 PM PDT Welcome to another creeping slide towards the big brother state. On August 2, 2007 over two dozen agents of the TSA setup two checkpoints at bus stops in Indianapolis Indiana and searched passengers who wanted to ride on city buses. Federal agents, including Air Marshals were present and patted people down, looked in bags, and performed "behavior" tests for the stated purpose of finding weapons and people who were a threat to public safety. Before you think I am joking, let me refer to both the Indianapolis Star report TSA checks IndyGo bus passengers as well as posted first person reports of what happened yesterday and why it effects us all. UPDATE: Thanks to DailyKos readers, this has been found to be a part of an 18 month old Federal Operation, read more below! [ link to dailykos.com] |

What are we waiting for? This is outrageous. Can you not see the Federal encroachment upon YOUR civil rights?

If you read the article, you can see you can say "No" to these kinds of searches. Do it. Maybe they'll go home. |

"No, I do not consent to a search of any kind."
But, of course that may have changed. |
