Crushing the Critics

Typical.

Bureocracies don’t like having their flaws pointed out. Expecting a bureocracy to acknowledge and fix a problem when it is pointed out by a critic often involves having the political powers that be coming down on them. However the current powers that be in the TSA are unlikely to do so.

@Mike … The problem is that TSA isn’t a rogue agency at all. It has the full support of the political elite.

Is there anyone who can look at this and not understand that AmeriKa has slipped into being a police state that is run by regulations and bureaucrats?

Where is the Congressional oversight and supervision as mandated? Napolitano is quite possibly in violation of whistle-blower provisions and should be dragged before Congress immediately following the planned reading of the Constitution at the start of the upcoming session.

The public should be reminded that while the Federal Government has just imposed rigorous new punitive and untested whistle-blower regulations on the private sector, the public sector increasingly trends toward the reverse image. New regulations passed in the Dodd-Frank “Financal Reform” Bill provide major financial incentives for the activity, including a rather problematic incentive for well positioned individuals to “create their own reportable crime” and receive a large percentage of the fine assessed against their employer, as well as establishing damaging disincentives for the functioning of internal controls that desire the reporting, investigation and remediation of unacceptable practices within the company. Curiously, the Dodd-Frank regulation does nothing to hold two of the greatest financial criminals accountable for instigating great global damage to the economy, but rather names the legislation in their honor which further signifies the detachment from accountability in the public sector.

Combine this with widespread, systemic pension fraud (through strategic, intentional underfunding of obligations by public sector employees, their unions and government management) and the nation has arrived at a destination where regulation is only applied to the private sector, intended to ensure the product of society’s new serfs is seized and re-appropriated by the post-Capitalist, neo-Fascist progressive hegemony.

This is what we get for electing Democrats. They invariably err on the side of taking away rights, freedoms, and our money, and use our money to build an all encompassing government that regulates everything, and whose permission must be asked for even the littlest thing. That is gangster government.

In a sane world, there wouldn’t BE at TSA, but we don’t live in a sane world. I also don’t think that it’s a coincidence that the abuses of the TSA have accelerated exponentially since Obama took office. Liberals, despite their rhetoric to the contrary, love authoritarian government… as long as they are in charge of it.

The TSA needs to be abolished and replaced with a rational anti terrorist strategy. For starters, I’d suggest allowing all lawful gun owners to carry on commercial flights. I’d even suggest that they be issued frangible ammunition before they board.

I bet it would work better than what we have now.
