> In its response to EPIC, the TSA claims that the earliest possible date it could "finalize documents" before even starting the public comment process would be "the end of February 2013."

And yet they were able to swiftly decide that these things are safe enough and effective enough to be deployed.


> TSA Defies Court

Which is basically moot, since they're both on the side of "national security".

Which more or less translates to "we can do what we like to protect you from terrorism, no we won't answer your questions at the risk of helping terrorists, and yes you absolutely must pay us billions to do it, or we will all die in a fiery ball of terrorism".

And if you doubt any of this, well, we have some questions we'd like to ask you about the nature of your trip, sir.


The terrorists have gotten what they wanted; massive expenditures and legislations against freedom in the name of security.


That was their goal? Really?



What kind of backs do you have to scratch (or the more vulgar metaphor) to be able to flagrantly ignore the court system?

Wow, these people are really in deep. They should share their secrets so we can all become Too Big To Fail.


No one who has the slightest degree of awareness of reality, and who is not in a state of denial, can possibly think that any legal negotiation on the part of the TSA is in good faith on their part.

What is it going to take before Americans stop consenting to be treated like cattle, or prisoners? Will people consent to routine cavity searches? I will never enter the USA while this degrading charade goes on. What is wrong with you guys? It's worse than anything I saw behind the iron curtain in the 80's. I'm sorry, I think it is absolutely pitiful what the "land of the free and the home of the brave" has come to. It's now more like "land of the coward and home of the slave".

Perhaps you don't even dare express an opinion, because the NSA is tracking everything on the net. Oh, well. Keep your heads down, keep chasing that phoney paper dollar.
