Maybe they’re on to me for my performing random drive by manicures without a license… either way, I was never Mirandized and presented with a warrant that specifically listed the clippers.

Don’t get me wrong, if a PRIVATELY owned airline company wants to employ their own PRIVATE security to enforce their PRIVATELY owned company’s rules for flying in their PRIVATELY OWNED airplanes… then, so be it. But they should have to compete against other PRVATELY owned airlines that allow such things, including SMOKING and ARMING of their pilots or other employees. And the airlines should be held responsible if their security measures are not sufficient enough to keep their planes from being hijacked and flown into buildings.

With Freedom comes Responsibility and ACCOUNTABILITY!

With a Constitutional Republic comes LIMITED Government!

When the government aids the terrorists in the (unnecessary) disruption of our lives then they are aiding and abetting the enemy.

Hey, there’s no way they could have possibly known what your intent was for those fingernail clippers…

Does anyone know of a site that lists the rights that foreign terrorist have taken from us compared to the rights that ~~the real domestic terrorist~~ our own government has taken from us since 9-11? Reminder for those that need it: Bill of Rights, Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. I think TSA owes me at least 5 lighters, some shampoo, cork screw, fingernail clippers, a bottle of wine and Scotch.... I'll let the other stuff slide.

With Republicans in charge, it won’t be long til we have to surrender our DNA to the state PRIOR to any charges. Fortunately the Fox News anchors on the telescreens will explain it to us, along with the fact that we’ve always been at war with Eurasia.

I have no problem with the ability of the state to take DNA from a convicted felon. They have had their rights to liberty
and property revoked or suspended.
Up and TO that point, the state should absolutely protect the rights of the accused citizen-
their very life, liberty, and property are at risk and under assault, and, under the 6th amendment, have special priveledges
under the constitution

This bill is a part of a culture of federal mandates painting accusers ans victims and assigning special priveledges to them while
painting the held and charged citizen as a criminal. And, based on the recent Supreme Ct no-decision in the case of Pottawattamie County v. McGhee, the prosecution needs no more help and encouragement!
