A quiet counterpoint to the TSA
I observed these while I turned into taking a Thanksgiving ruin and I idea they were smart.
The text of the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution is printed in metallic ink and will show up on the TSA's body scan images. You can find them here .
Thinking approximately the TSA's trendy electricity seize and that Palin woman's assertions that the ones people with a D in our political affiliations somehow hate the Constitution jogged my memory simply how a good deal I recognize the Constitution of the United States. Here's the text of the Fourth Amendment:
The proper of the human beings to be secure in their people, houses, papers, and results, in opposition to unreasonable searches and seizures, shall now not be violated, and no Warrants shall problem, but upon probable motive, supported by using Oath or confirmation, and in particular describing the vicinity to be searched, and the people or things to be seized.Sarah, if you're reading this you probably ought to read the whole thing some time. Here's the Constitution and here's The Bill of Rights .
As irritating as the TSA's security theater can be, the idea of someone seeing my bits in a scanner doesn't bother me very much. I'm far more concerned about the general climate of paranoia that allows all manner of Constitutional abuse to go unchallenged. That same climate of paranoia is what allows failed politicians who libel their fellow citizens to write best selling books and it allows a minority political party to use metaphors of war to describe their disagreements with The President.
The United States is in serious trouble and that trouble can't be chased away by bureaucratic muscle-flexing or by pitting citizens against one another in the search for a scapegoat.
Now, who'll be the first one to volunteer to wear those undies via an airport?
