Passenger says TSA agents harassed him (http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/06/20/tsa.lawsuit/index.html)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Steve Bierfeldt says the Transportation Security Administration pulled him aside for extra questioning in March. He was carrying a pocket edition of the U.S. Constitution and an iPhone capable of making audio recordings. And he used them.
Steve Bierfeldt is accusing the Transportation Security Administration of "harassing interrogation."
On a recording a TSA agent can be heard berating Bierfeldt. One sample: "You want to play smartass, and I'm not going to play your f**king game."
Bierfeldt is director of development for the Campaign for Liberty, an outgrowth of the Ron Paul presidential campaign. He was returning from a regional conference March 29 when TSA screeners at Lambert-St. Louis (Illinois) International Airport saw a metal cash box in his carry-on bag. Inside was more than $4,700 dollars in cash -- proceeds from the sale of political merchandise like T-shirts and books.
Unbeknownst to the TSA agents, Bierfieldt had activated the record application on his phone and slipped it into his pocket. It captured the entire conversation.
This could be interesting. (http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/06/20/tsa.lawsuit/index.html) :popcorn:

I am no fan of the ACLU. They are an anti-American-culture operation akin to Fidel Castro. But if this one case is true, and I have no doubt it is, then the ACLU is doing something good even if it is for the wrong reasons.
It is a sad day when one has to sue to perserve common sense. That sad day has happened all too often over the last forty years.
The ACLU is usually on the other side. They all should be on trial.

Janet Reno.
I rest my case.

Janet Reno.
I rest my case.
OOOoooh, don't get me started on that (I'm told) woman. I have to put Janet Reno out of my mind in order to function without the rage.
The Elian Gonzales case alone is enough to make me go against every fiber of my Christian being and go ahead and pray to the Lord that if only two souls exist in hell in the end, let it be she and Bill Clinton.

The ACLU DOES screw up and actually do something good once in a while.
