I never thought Tennessee was a terrorists hot spot. I've been stopped approaching the hoover dam by TSA, luckily I was traveling with one guy who was carrying his .45, a couple hookers and Hone Lynn... what possibly could have gone wrong?

The rest of us were worried because we had a Canadian in the van! ;)

What puts them above the law and not needing a warrant to search a car?

People are fucking idiots and believe anything they read. Read the first sentence:

"The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security on Tuesday partnered with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and several other federal and state agencies for a safety enforcement and awareness operation on Tennessee's interstates and two metropolitan-area bus stations.

I read this as "The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security" is conducting some "safety enforcement and awareness operation". Most likely they are going to be targeting transit buses - Greyhound, etc - which makes perfect sense being as we've had a fair amount of accidents involving passenger buses in the past two years. They are partnering with the TSA because security on public transportation is their area of concern.

We tend to think of the TSA as only having control in airports, but that's only their most visible area. From Wikipedia:

With state, local, and regional partners, the TSA oversees security for highways, railroads, buses, mass transit systems, pipelines, ports.

So this should come as no surprise really. Basically the TSA, which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is going to be working with local law enforcement on a number of issues.

It's like the US is turning into Nazi Germany.

Good luck with that.

Riot in the streets and burn shit to the ground, or shut up, deal with it, and do what you're told.

Or leave the country and take your tax dollars with you.

We just have to keep quiet and trust that our government will do the right thing.

I was going to post the same thing really. People are simply too fucking dumb though. I just went over this with someone else on this exact same story.

What happened here is DarkJedi gets his news from drudgereport or had this article forwarded or something to him from someone. And they said "OMG The TSA is doing this!" as the intro link to the article. So by the time DarkJedi reads the story he already has an opinion about it. When, as anyone can see plain as fucking day - the story DOES NOT STATE THAT. Just read the god damn article!

It's the main problem with society today. People get referenced to a story and the person referencing says "this story says this". So before the person even reads it - their mind is already made up on what the story says.

People need to learn something very basic when it comes to news and media outlets.

Correct way: Legitimize facts and then form an opinion.
Wrong way: Form an opinion and then try to legitimize it.

morons...

Reminds me of London.

They are nailing people with random searches at the entrance of LAX. You could just be giving a friend a ride to the airport and next thing you know you are being interogated by cops and K-9.

If you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water, he'll jump out. But if you place a frog into a pot of lukewarm water and slowly turn up the heat, it will boil to death.
