I just read that the TSA prevented Senator Paul from traveling because he refusted a search.
If you were in one of the more corrupt South American countries you would know that on election days some set up road blocks and hold certain people
until after the voting is over. The numbers run into the "thousands". Any time the citizens allow the Gov't to take this much power they have given away their critical rights, freedom's and liberties. To illustrate where we have slowly been going..Those who remember growing up in the 40's and 50's if I told you then that the Police could stop you, even though you have not committed a crime and ask you questions you would have said I was nuts.
This is going on today. I don't want to hear from all of the "Mothers agains
drinking and driving" all know that I am strongly against drinking but not at the price of giving up my freedom. Does the 4th Amendment ring a bell..
"The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, which is a type of general search warrant, in the American Revolution. Search and arrest should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer, who has sworn by it."
This should be a concern for all. It is not something people should joke about
or try to be "cute".
Sometime think about the freedoms that have so carefully been taken from the US Citizen and that once a freedom is lost it will most likely not come back. :ohdear:

This happening the same day that the Supreme Court says (9-0) the police need warrants to use GPS for tracking suspects.

At least SOMEONE was reading the Constitution.
