Another one bites the dust. Another 4-year-old child with obvious murderous intent (just look at those beady eyes!) has been subdued by the no-nonsense agents of the Transportation Security Administration.

This most incident TSA “fail” began when the mother of Michelle Brademeyer triggered alarms as she went through security at Wichita Airport in Kansas. The family—which included Michelle, her two daughters, and her mother—was on its way home following a family wedding.

The noise frightened 4-year-old Isabella, who also feared for her grandmother and ran to give the older woman a reassuring hug. Clearly, Isabella’s bed-time reading had excluded the Golden Books version of the TSA manual, which specifies that “any passenger attempting to administer reassuring hugs will be considered a suspect and held for questioning by local law enforcement.”

In her account of the ordeal  Michelle Brademeyer writes:

First, a TSO began yelling at my child, and demanded she too must sit down and await a full body pat-down. I was prevented from coming any closer, explaining the situation to her, or consoling her in any way. My daughter, who was dressed in tight leggings, a short sleeve shirt and mary jane shoes, had no pockets, no jacket and nothing in her hands. The TSO refused to let my daughter pass through the scanners once more, to see if she too would set off the alarm. It was implied, several times, that my Mother, in their brief two-second embrace, had passed a handgun to my daughter. [Emphasis added]

I don’t know about you but I’ll sure sleep better tonight knowing that the TSA is wise to the granny-clandestinely-passing-a-weapon-to-a-toddler routine, which is one of the oldest ploys in the terrorist handbook.

What a joke is right. That poor kid was probably scared to death.

Our rights as citizens are dwindling under the guise of fighting terrorism. The unPatriot Act rewrote the Constitution and allows spying on citizens. Google "NSA Utah" and tell me why we need a 1 million sq ft spy center. Google "NSA whistleblower Binney" and someone please explain to me why the hell the NSA is storing over 20 trillion emails, phone calls, Google queries and other assorted data of Americans.

Now I realize it takes extreme measures to keep us safe from the azzholes of the world but how high a price are we willing to pay for our freedoms?

This is not a R or D issue because they are all in on it. Sad, really sad that the greatest country in the world is spying and harrasing its own citizenry.

It's insane what the TSA and law enforcement are allowed to get away with these days. The Supreme Court recently approved strip searches for even minor offences like a speeding ticket. The gubment is on a mission to completely deprive you of your freedoms, and that is one area where Obama has failed miserably.

It's all a big show anyway. It's hilarious that they think banning people from taking opened bottles of water on an airplane is doing anything to keep you safer.
