A new program in Houston will place undercover TSA agents and police officers on buses whose job it will be to perform bag searches, watch for "suspicious activity" and interrogate passengers in order to 'curb crime and terrorism'.
Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee unveiled the program, labeled Bus Safe, during a press conference on Friday. According to a Metropolitan Transit Authority of Houston (METRO) press release, agencies involved in the scheme will, "ride buses, perform random bag checks, and conduct K-9 sweeps, as well as place uniformed and plainclothes officers at Transit Centers and rail platforms to detect, prevent and address latent criminal activity or behavior."
"While local law enforcement agencies focus on overall safety measures noted above, representatives with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will also be on hand, lending their counter-terrorism expertise and support during the exercise," states the press release.
"If you think you're going to be a bad actor on buses, get ready. You are going to have a short-lived time frame," Jackson Lee said during the press conference. The Congresswoman is a staunch advocate of the TSA, having recently chastised the passage of a new law that allows airports to evict TSA agents and replace them with private screeners by claiming it would lead to a new 9/11-style attack.

What was it that B. Franklin said about trading liberty for safety & security?
Uhm these folks allowed this to happen? I'll be damned if i allow them to violate my 4th amendment rights. They cannot search you without your consent or probable cause or unless they arrest you.

Obviously libs and their middle of the road com-padre's aren't aware of settled law concerning search incident to apprehension, nor are they interested in the Constitution & rule of law. Too many have sold their soul to the company store. Perhaps now they will sleep well... secure in the knowledge that Big Brother (or Sister) are 'taking care of business'. Looks like other peoples money wasn't good enough, now they want other peoples liberty, too. Gee, who woulda seen that coming?
Shades of Hitler's Sturmabteilung. Planes, Trains, Buses... next it will be Taxicabs and shuttlevans!
Good point, Warph.
It's amazing how many people say they do not support Obama, yet they are right on pace with Obama - including Republicans and
the self-called moderates.
