Ventura Strikes Back with Lawsuit Against TSA

January 25, 2011
jesse-ventura1

Former Governor Jesse Ventura has taken steps to sue the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security, naming their chiefs John Pistole and ‘Big Sis’ Janet Napolitano in a lawsuit that will take on invasive airport pat-downs [READ LAWSUIT]. Ventura first told Alex Jones of his intent to sue the TSA privately back in September while traveling for the making of TruTV’s “Conspiracy Theory,” expressing grave concern about what he viewed as his country’s transformation into East Germany.

Jones recalls Ventura’s outrage at the TSA’s harassing old people in wheelchairs with the invasive new pat-down procedures. The former governor himself is routinely sent to secondary screening due to a hip replacement in 2008, and Jones witnessed him undergo repeated humiliating searches during pat-downs at the hands of TSA. Worse, at airports across the country, even those presenting medical cards describing special needs or equipment from a doctor are routinely ignored as TSA agents demand that medical patients remove urostomy bags, prosthetic breasts or that TSA be allowed to grope a pacemaker patients’ breasts.

“That’s why I want to leave the United States,” Ventura had told Jones at the time. “This is why I go down to Mexico– this is wrong.” Ventura indicated that he was most concerned about the destruction of the 4th Amendment and passing of the America he once knew

All I can say is good luck for Jesse. It's things like this as to why I voted for him for Governor. He may have had an alligator mouth and didn't know when to shut the hell up, but he always stood up for doing the right thing.

I ran across a story yesterday about someone who had won their lawsuit against the TSA.  The headline labeled them an 'activist' so I wasn't willing to drag it over here.

Amen. I much prefer the straight and direct, honest man who stands for the right things even though he doesn't soft-sell or overly polish his words to the overly polite and polished man who stands for the wrong things and has no backbone to boot.

Go, Jesse :)

Was that story the one where the TSA put the journalists on the watch list for so diligently reporting on the case?

No, he was arrested for filming the TSA agents: http://www.examiner.com/blogosphere-buzz-in-national/seattle-activist-phil-mocek-wins-case-against-tsa-pics
