Nazi-style "VIPER" security checkpoints at bus terminals

The agency recently tested a new program known as VIPER (Visual Intermodal Protection and Response) which involved placing Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials at Greyhound bus stations in Tampa to pat down and grope ground travelers. The agency even brought in local police with sniff dogs to allegedly help improve overall security.

In other words, there really is no legitimate -- or legal -- reason for TSA agents be frisking passengers at bus stops, but as long as the cited reasons include "security", the public is simply supposed to accept the unwarranted checkpoints as a necessary evil for the sake of improved safety.

"What we're looking for are threats to national security as well as immigration law violators," explained Steve McDonald from the U.S. Border Patrol, also trying to legitimize the efforts to the public.

But the endeavor is really nothing more then yet another violation of civil liberties in the name of security. Harassing travelers and looking for "immigration law violators" without a warrant is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which states that "a search or seizure is generally unreasonable and unconstitutional, if conducted without a valid warrant."

If you simply Google “TSA Greyhound”, you will quickly learn that Greyhound partnered with the TSA as least as far back as 2006 for testing security measures at their inner city terminals.

I think you post stuff like this to support your “Natural News” website.  At least admit that you are affiliated with this website.

The writer of the article in your link, and apparently, you, weren’t paying attention in your freshman high school biology 101 class.  I’m guessing you are associated with this “natural news” website since you link to it continuously.



no association.

I guess I need to directly point out the focus of my question.

In your October 20th post, you claimed no association with this “Natural news” website.

In your October 22nd post, (two days later) you ask readers to look at an article you wrote and published on the above-mentioned “Natural news” website.

So, my question is this:
How can you claim no affiliation when you publish articles on this website?


Regarding your continued (and probably deliberate) misunderstanding of my earlier posts explaining why certain foods don’t rot, my reference to electrolytes describes the environment, not the method of digestion.  To further clarify: When salt is added to food, it inhibits bacterial growth by changing electrolyte levels.  Bacteria are tiny compared to us, and they would die in that environment, because their electrolyte levels would be thrown way out of balance.  Since we are much larger, our electrolyte levels aren’t affected as much.

If you still do not understand, I suggest you consult a food science expert.  I understand that Jeff K knows a lot about food science, so maybe he can be of better assistance.

'legitimate' in the view of the current administration is the ever increasing growth of government.
