BIG SIS INVADES WAL-MART: 'IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING'
WASHINGTON -- Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today announced the expansion of the Department?s national ?If You See Something, Say Something? campaign to hundreds of Walmart stores across the country?launching a new partnership between DHS and Walmart to help the American public play an active role in ensuring the safety and security of our nation.
?Homeland security starts with hometown security, and each of us plays a critical role in keeping our country and communities safe,? said Secretary Napolitano. ?I applaud Walmart for joining the ?If You See Something, Say Something? campaign. This partnership will help millions of shoppers across the nation identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to law enforcement authorities.?
The ?If You See Something, Say Something? campaign?originally implemented by New York City?s Metropolitan Transportation Authority and funded, in part, by $13 million from DHS? Transit Security Grant Program?is a simple and effective program to engage the public and key frontline employees to identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to the proper transportation and law enforcement authorities.
More than 230 Walmart stores nationwide launched the ?If You See Something, Say Something? campaign today, with a total of 588 Walmart stores in 27 states joining in the coming weeks. A short video message, available here, will play at select checkout locations to remind shoppers to contact local law enforcement to report suspicious activity.

Air Marshals Expand Beyond Planes
Officers Descending On Transit Systems, Bus Stations, Ferries
(AP) Federal air marshals are expanding their work beyond airplanes, launching counterterror surveillance at train stations and other mass transit facilities in a three-day test program.
As of Wednesday, the Transportation Security Administration said, teams of undercover air marshals and uniformed law enforcement officers were descending on bus stations, ferries and transit systems across the country to protect them from potential terrorists.
"We just want to develop the capability to enhance security outside of aviation," said air marshal spokesman David Adams.
Air marshals stepped outside of their usual role of flying undercover on airliners after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. They were sent to keep order at Louis Armstrong International Airport, where thousands of evacuees converged after the levees were breached.
The so-called "Visible Intermodal Protection and Response" teams, or VIPER teams, will patrol Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and Los Angeles rail lines; ferries in Washington state; bus stations in Houston; and mass transit systems in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore.

Feds Radiating Americans at Roadside Checkpoints
4th Amendment Violating Mobile X-Ray Scanners Hit The Streets
As we warned at the beginning of the year, X-ray body scanners currently being used and abused in airports across the world are set to hit the streets as American Science & Engineering reveals that ?more than 500 backscatter x-ray scanners mounted in vans that can be driven past neighboring vehicles to see their contents? have been sold to government agencies.

4th Amendment Violating Mobile X-Ray Scanners Hit The Streets
Philly Cops Stopping & Searching Random People On The Streets
In Philadelphia, you don?t have to visit the airport to have the government molest you, TSA-style ?stop, question and frisk? pat downs are already being conducted by police on the streets targeting people who act suspicious, by doing things like putting their hands in their coat pocket.
As we have repeatedly warned, everything unfolding in the airports, from naked radiation body scanners to pat downs, is now being implemented on mass transit as well as every major street corner in America. Constitutional protections of privacy and immunity from unreasonable search and seizure have been abolished, replaced with guilty until proven innocent.

US Homeland Security FAST Becoming Thought Police
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is making quick progress on its Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) or Project Hostile Intent as it was called originally, which is designed to detect hostile thoughts, or thought crime as it?s known in Orwellian-speak.
The technology uses high-tech sensors that can measure breathing and pulse rate, as well as facial expressions and skin temperature in an attempt to identify people acting suspiciously. The system aims to make it easier for border control staff to choose who to single out for a probing interview.
