I have no idea how he plans on going about doing this but hell I support him at least changing the way the TSA does there work.

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign released the following statement concerning TSA abuses like the ones that resulted in U.S. Sen. Rand Paul being inconvenienced at the Nashville, Tennessee airport. Below please find comments from Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX):

“The police state in this country is growing out of control. One of the ultimate embodiments of this is the TSA that gropes and grabs our children, our seniors, and our loved ones and neighbors with disabilities. The TSA does all of this while doing nothing to keep us safe.

“That is why my ‘Plan to Restore America,’ in additional to cutting $1 trillion dollars in federal spending in one year, eliminates the TSA.

“We must restore the freedom and respect for liberty that once made American the greatest nation in human history. I am deeply committed to doing that as President of the United States.”

US Constitution - 4th Amendment

Quote:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

TSA apologizes for mistreating elderly at JFK

Quote:

The federal Transportation Security Administration sent a letter to state Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria) earlier this month admitting its agents had acted improperly while screening two elderly women who came through John F. Kennedy International Airport to visit their families.

But the TSA denied the women had been asked to remove any articles of clothing, as both of them had claimed.

“TSA sincerely regrets any discomfort or inconvenience the passengers at JFK experienced,” Betsy Markey, of the TSA, wrote to Gianaris Jan. 3.

The apology was not sufficient for Gianaris or Lenore Zimmerman and Ruth Sherman, both of whom allege TSA agents took them to another room and asked them to remove articles of clothing while going through screenings at the airport. Both had come to New York to visit family members for Thanksgiving.

“They did,” said Zimmerman, 85, of Long Beach, L.I. “They’re lying.” ...

You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it.
