Video: TSA: "We Don't Have To Show You The Law... We Carry Out The Law"
Does this video depict yet another example of TSA-thuggery? As the video starts,
an unidentified woman at the TSA security checkpoint at Sky Harbor International
in Phoenix, Arizona claims that a TSA agent just "molested" her during a
pat-down and demands to see a police officer.
The fact that a man claiming to be the woman's son was already filming the
incident leads us to believe that it may have been a staged citizen-sting
operation, but what transpires is still extremely disturbing.
TSA agents appear a great deal more concerned over the fact that they are
being recorded than attending to the woman's complaint, and the fact that TSA
agents, the Phoenix Police and a "security coordinator" threaten to have the man
recording the video arrested for taking a video recording in proximity to a TSA
security checkpoint, very disturbing, to say the least.
The man protests, claiming that he is standing in a public area in the airport,
but is told nonetheless that it's a violation of the law to film and he will be
arrested if he continues to film the incident.
Then at the 3:34 time-mark of the video, the man asks a "security coordinator"
if he can show him the law or at least give him a citation number so he can look
up the law later and the official says: "We don't have to show you the law...
we carry out the law."
A
TSA-sponsored website that referenced the above incident stated: "We
recognize that using video and photography equipment is a constitutionally
protected activity" but "our current policy remains the same." Additionally the
TSA-sponsored website says: "TSA is reviewing our guidance to officers at the
checkpoint to ensure consistent application [of TSA policies]
Hmmm...this is the government that allows illegal "dreamers" to "walk"!?!! And American Citizens get jacked up by their own citizens??? We are in deep trouble.
When are we going to say, "Enough is enough?" We need to force Congress to dump the TSA and not worry about whether they unionize or not. Of course if they DO unionize, they will be worse than ever.
