TSA Promises to be everywhere...

[Kathianne]

Of course they are cogs in the machine, and the fact that they don't get to run security the way they want proves it. IF they had their druthers, they would profile, but those decisions are made outside the TSA and they are told what to do.

It's how the alphabet agencies operate. I seen it all the time with the DEA guys I worked with. They would KNOW that something would work in the field and some politician in a suit would decide differently and that was that. Rocking the boat meant losing your job.And we all know that politicians don't make decisions based off of common sense.

And you support that, right? It's what you've been posting in favor of since you came here years, make that months ago. Really, has it only been 5 months? Seems way longer. Honesty should compel you to agree that what the government wants from TSA is good for USA. That has been your position from the beginning, middle, and end.

How do you know it's not my argument? The only thing I've argued is that it is my opinion that the TSA should do the security at airports and that the searches are constitutional. I've never given ANY suggestion as to WHY I think the TSA should be the governjment agency doing the searches , until now that is.

My questioon to you is this, if you feel it's a waste of money, and/or unconstitutional for the TSA to be doing the searches, why would you be okay with local law enforcement doing it? Don't agree with incorporation?

Honestly, your argument is hard to follow because you said that Airlines and Cruise ships aren't public so that's where the TSA should be and you wouldn't condone their involvement in public transportation. That opens up wide the avenues where the exact threat to far more people lies. Local law enforcement and budget were nowhere near your opening statement.

Your question? Who said I would be OK with the locals doing it? Besides, I don't think any cruise ships are going to crash into a high rise.

Actually I said nothing about public transportation DJ. What I did say was that I dont see a need for the tea on anything other than airlines and cruise ships. And like you I'm skeptical about needing them to screen cruise ship passengers. I wouldn't fee the same Eben if were private subways they were talking about.

I feel the the airlines are a special case requiring a special response. And that should be the limit.

What does how long I've been posting here have to do with the price of tea in china?


And in fact you're wrong. Go rear my posts I have all along said that changes should be made and that profiling and such should be done

Cruise ships and airlines are not public transportation, and ThAT is the only place I would condone the TSA being involved and have stated as such.

By extension of logic you did; the opposite of NOT public is public.

IF that is how you wish to read it, maybe you know better than I do what I believe though.

:shrug: Just going by what you post.

Fine, then go by what I post. At NO point did I say that any and all public transportation should be protected by the TSA.

A. What else would I go by?
B. My God man; I, at no point, stated that you did...

1. I'm glad there's a limit.
2. Why would you condone government intervention in private transportation but not extend it to public. That would be backwards logic.

... only that you're condoning intrusion into the private sphere while not extending it to the public.

What a fail..

what the heck is that?

Cruise ships and airlines are not public transportation.

I dont think I ever said it was
,

well, since I was talking about a police state, then you must not condone any policing agency or govt agency to be screening passengers on any public transportation

Oh unless of course you would like us to believe that I am not who you were referring to as a nazi style police state supporter.

Its always so much fun following your posts and seeing you stumble all over yourself.
By the way, quite a few typos in this thread, you been drinkin?

No , I was posting from my new Droid. I haven't quite gotten used to it yet. Thanks grammar Nazi.

It was a question.
Speaking of nazi's, (truly the pot calling the kettle black when you do it)
you didnt say anything about all police agencies being allowed to do screening, searches.
I guess you cant just make something up about that one...

That is possible, or perhaps I just missed it, what are you saying about agencies and searches? Got a question for me?

Ugh. I can't stand posting from a smart phone. It works for quick responses, but copy and pasting, editing--forget it.

This one has an annoying auto correct feature to. UGH it will turn the simplest misspellings into a word that isn't even close to what you mean if you're not careful.
