Passengers Face $11,000 Fine For Refusing TSA Gropings
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, November 20, 2010, 9:33 AM
Get feeled up or fined… The choice is yours.
(LA Weekly)
Any passenger who refuse the new TSA gropings may face $11,000 fines and possible arrest.
The Sun-Sentinel reported, via Free Republic:
If you don’t want to pass through an airport scanner that allows security agents to see an image of your naked body or to undergo the alternative, a thorough manual search, you may have to find another way to travel this holiday season.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning that any would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint and then refuses to undergo the method of inspection designated by TSA will not be allowed to fly and also will not be permitted to simply leave the airport.
That person will have to remain on the premises to be questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforcement. Anyone refusing faces fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest.
“Once a person submits to the screening process, they can not just decide to leave that process,” says Sari Koshetz, regional TSA spokesperson, based in Miami.
Koshetz said such passengers would be questioned “until it is determined that they don’t pose a threat” to the public.
Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Teri Barbera said PBSO deputies stationed at the airport would become involved when requested by the TSA.
“We will handle each incident on a case-by-case basis,” she said.
No one will be forcibly searched or arrested “just because they refuse to go through the security procedures,” Barbera said. “That may rise to the level of suspicious behavior for the TSA, but it wouldn’t rise to the level of suspicious behavior for a deputy,” she said.
But Barbera said that if a person is judged to be a possible threat, deputies are legally permitted to detain and search that individual. “The deputies will do it at the airport just as they would do it anywhere else,” she said.

No prior notice? Can’t just leave? Forced to be either irradiated or sexually assaulted? Held and questioned for some indeterminate period of time until they are “satisfied you aren’t a threat”? $11,000 Fine?
That sure as hell sounds like a totalitarian police state to me!

This whole TSA terrorism is nothing more than obama getting back at the American people for his “shellacking” at the polls…

If Al Gore can call for civil disobedience over the lack of government effort to combat global warming (Hoax that it is), then perhaps it time that we the people call for the same to combat this unwarranted intrusion….
Vercingetorix commented:
If I were a reporter I would ask the TSA if any of these gropings have resulted in a single person being detained or strip-searched because of something discovered by a groping.
I would be willing to bet that there hasn’t been a single case, which would be convincing proof that the molestations serve no purpose whatsoever.

They got it backwards, I charge to put out lol
Theadora commented:
I believe Betsy Ross #2 is correct.
The use of the scan and pat down has never been authorized by congress. The bill is still sitting on someone’s desk, not yet having been voted on.
It was obama’s order to DHS – big sis – to use $1 billion of the stimulus to get the scans started. And now we have ‘gate-rape’.
I have the feeling that obama is very much enjoying the humilation of the American citizens, who he has always hated, but especially after the election.

Assaulting a Federal Officer Law & Legal Definition
18 USCS § 111, makes it a Federal crime or offense for anyone to forcibly assault a Federal officer while the officer is engaged in the performance of his or her official duties. Purpose of this law is to protect both federal officers and federal functions. It was enacted both as counterpart to state law requiring increased punishment for assaulting peace officer as well as to provide federal forum for trial of offenses involving federal officers.
As per the section whoever forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with any person designated as an officer or employee of the U.S. while engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties; or forcibly assaults or intimidates any person who formerly served as an officer or employee of the U.S. on account of the performance of official duties during such person’s term of service shall be guilty of the offense. If the acts amount only to simple assault, then s/he may be fined or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. Where such acts involve physical contact with the victim of that assault or when there is intent to commit another felony, s/he shall be fined or imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.
If a deadly or dangerous weapon (including a weapon intended to cause death or danger but that fails to do so by reason of a defective component) is used to commit the offense or when there is infliction of bodily injury the penalty is more. The offender shall be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
It is not necessary to show that the person knew the person being forcibly assaulted was, at that time, a Federal officer carrying out an official duty so long as it is established beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim was, in fact, a Federal officer acting in the course of his duty and that the person willfully committed a forcible assault upon him.

So, punching that TSA agent could cost you $11,000 plus whatever fine for assaulting a Federal officer plus 8 years in jail.
I would suggest mass protests and mass refusal to fly.

Wait, so they can forcibly assault the traveler with no consequence, but if we try for the return grope, we could go to jail for 8 years??
How’s about we set up a ‘security checkpoint’ at TSA HQ? You know, on a public street, so they cannot go in unless we pat them down?

mark commented:
What are the qualifications for being a TSA agent? What kind of security background check is required? How often are background checks conducted on agents? I trust the backgrounds of the pilot and crew more than the backgrounds of TSA agents.
On a similar note, remember that it was passengers, not TSA, that stopped:
1. underwear bomber
2. 9/11 UA flight over PA
3. Shoe bomber
4. every crazy person trying to storm the cockpit or open the airplane door in flight.
It always been passengers, not TSA providing the actual security. How do we get paid for what we do, instead of fined?

You should read some of the comments at Free Republic. TSA is really digging. Threatening to “question people until they are satisfied they aren’t a threat?” Does that include locking them up with no recourse under the Patriot Act?
We have literally been turned into a police state overnight!
Even Jesse Ventura is now refusing to fly because of the abuse –

Oh sure, I see that. But thing back to Hitler’s takeover of Germany. The Germans went along to keep the peace. With every new outrage, the Germans went along to keep the peace. They turned in their guns all orderly like. The followed the new religion. They enrolled their children in Nazi Youth. They said nothing as their neighbors were taken away. They said nothing as Veterans who had fought for Germany, even some who held the Iron Cross, were dispossessed of their property and their homes and eventually their very lives.
Appeasement never turns out well. NEVER. If you let the lion eat your toe, eventually he will consume your entire foot.
There comes a time when we each have to decide if we truly believe in the REAL American Dream – our founding principles – or if we are going to go along to get along in the name of preventing some mythological terrorism from an “enemy” this regime will not even name while each and every one of our Inalienable Rights are stripped from us. That time is now if we intend to save our Republic.

Apparently even the Dems are listening -
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/130205-homeland-security-chairman-to-tsa-reconsider-invasive-pat-downs
A nugget from the story -
The lawmakers say members “expressed concern” about the pat-down procedures when they were briefed on them in September. They ask Pistole for a number of documents, such as a privacy impact assessment, regarding the new pat-down procedures and say TSA screeners need more training, citing an inspector general report detailing weaknesses in the agency’s training program.
Thompson and Jackson Lee criticize the agency in their letter. They say TSA should have done a better job of informing the public about the new screening procedures while also making sure to better protect their civil rights.
“Before implementing this new more invasive pat down procedure, as a preliminary matter, TSA should have had a conversation with the American public about the need for these changes. Even before that conversation, TSA should have endeavored to ensure that these changes did not run afoul of privacy and civil liberties,” they write.
Read that first bit again – the lawmakers were briefed on these new procedures IN SEPTEMBER and expressed concerns then.

The incoming chairman of the Republican Governors Association suggested Friday that TSA screeners would be more help securing the nation’s border with Mexico.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday on Fox Business Network that states need to “push Washington back into that box that we call the United States constitution,” but said the federal government needs to follow through on its responsibility of securing the U.S. border.

I still wonder what a TSA nut would do if he’d find an actual terrorist. I mean, these guys aren’t armed, right? Let’s say they actually find Abdul the (not yet dead) terrorist. The guy is armed. What are they going to do? Pout at him? Ask him to not shoot up the place or detonate his bomb?
Oh, they call local law enforcement, which may or may not be nearby.
Yeah, I see that working out.
Not.

Okay. So, you go to the airport, get into the security fiasco, decide not to participate, get taken to jail… do we start building the reeducation camps now… that’s where this is heading. And if they strip you of your right to have no unreasonable search, what other rights have you given away at the door? The right to a speedy and fair trial? The right to free speech? Once they take one right away, where does it end?
Ah, yes. I forgot… the reeducation camps or Auschwitz.

I suppose a requirement to be hired in a government job is to be either brain dead or lazy feeling entitled to whatever you can get and do as little as possible until retirement… THIS CRAP HAS GOT TO CHANGE WITH OR WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNMENT… THIS IS OUR Country!

Remember all the Dem-left demanding that we be nice to terrorists and foreign enemy combatants, give them constitutional “rights” and civilian trials and Korans not touched by infidel hands; no waterboarding even to save thousands of our own lives — because losing our principles would be worse?
Where are those left-Dems now? Some of them have defended the policy of forcing every airline passenger to be groped by low-level government agents. Some have said, “Well, it does infringe on the Fourth Amendment, but we’ll just have to do it.” (Because heaven forfend that the government focus its attention specifically on likely or plausible suspects.)
For leftists, equality in misery is preferable to rational and effective policies that judge people on their individual merits.
For leftists, constitutional rights are mainly a way of protecting the guilty; they aren’t intended to protect innocent citizens from a heavy-handed government.

So as Americans OB 1.5 and big Sis have decided we should be treated as criminals in our own country, but illegal immigrants are ignored and given free transportation if apprehended. We all know what must happen if this garbage is allowed to continue. The Socialist in Government just keep chipping away at our freedoms, while they seek even more devious ways to enslave us. At this time it seems our only real hope is if State Governments take a stand.
Probable Commies in Government or supporting them:
Obama, Pelosi, Reed, Boxer, Waters, Holder, Big Sis, Soros, Ron Lloyd, Bill Ayers, Andy Stern, Ron Bloom, Richard Trumka, Van Jones, Frances Fox Piven, John Podesta, Barny Frank, Plus reports of 11 Democraps on the Judiciary Committee that are reported members of the Democratic Socialist Party, and over 100 other Democrats on the Hill. If they are admitted Socialist/Commie, how can they be following the oath they took to protect the Constitution? The oath I took as a young man (that I have never been asked to reject) makes these people my enemy. But then Obama has made that abundantly clear already.

Bivens Actions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivens_v._Six_Unknown_Named_Agents
Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971)[1], was a case in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that an implied cause of action existed for an individual whose Fourth Amendment freedom from unreasonable search and seizures had been violated by federal agents. The victim of such a deprivation could sue for the violation of the Amendment itself, despite the lack of any federal statute authorizing such a suit. The existence of a remedy for the violation was implied from the importance of the right violated.
Bivens has been subsequently interpreted to create a cause of action against the federal government similar to the one 42 U.S.C. § 1983 creates against the states.

Well, I know I am out of place here but I am about as left as they come. Fox republished this story, and the fact that everyone here is blaming Obama for something he VETOED is pretty laughable. Couple that with the fact that the right wing pundits like Rush Limbaugh are saying things like “your rights mean nothing if you are dead.” and you dont see any “conservative” politicians fighting against these machines even though they are ALL “strict constitutionalists” and these tactics violate the 4th amendment and the Supreme Court’s rulings that we all have the right to privacy (both things that the Patriot Act blew up and paved over, thank you Bush and Obama for continuing). The right wing politicians are not fighting this, and the president has no way of making laws, just signing them. He vetoed the DHS request for them so the TSA instead took its stimulis and did it anyway. And with all the bull crap the right as a minority is forcing the dems to go through just to get toilet paper put in the bathrooms in congress you think that if they really wanted to stop this, they would. But they dont. They like making you live in fear. Because if you are afraid, you will vote for them if they even sound like they can protect you. And its all BS.
All that being said, I want to tell you that YOU ARE RIGHT IN HATING THIS! This is one of MANY things that you need to join your fellow working man with, no matter where you stand politically, and FIGHT AGINST THIS! BOTH sides need to push for our congress to GET RID of these scanners and pat down procedures. Sweden has scanners that DO NOT show real human images but instead point to the offending object on a mannequin figure on the screen. And the scanners here wont pick up the materials that the “underwear bomber” used in his incident. The Swedish ones can, without showing anyone your naughty bits. This needs to stop and stop NOW! And the only way we can is if we put our petty disagreements aside and work together on this. And I will tell you what: Ive seen so called “progressives” defend this, saying it is Obama trying to make us safe and he wouldn’t hurt us. They are just as brainless as they claim you all to be. And you are right to say so, especially since he vetoed it, and hasn’t spoken up about it either. Its all BS, just a different color.
Please, join your fellow working class men and women against this blatantly illegal practice. Eff Left and Right. It doesn’t matter. Your rights DO matter! And this makes us no more safe than we were without them.

President Obama has shown a true commitment to fine and punish the American people at every opportunity. If we don’t purchase health care insurance, we will be fined. If we didn’t answer all of the questions on the census form, we were subject to fines or punishement. Many travelers don’t know anything about the new screening requirements. If they get in line and don’t want to be exposed to radiation, their only choice will be the invasive body check. How are we to know that the TSA individual isn’t just a pervert. What about people who have a history of sexual abuse? They would be completely traumatized by this type of search. So, why can’t they just leave the airport without further interrogation by the TSA thugs? If the government isn’t informing every individual in the country of the new rules (not everyone watches the news because they are sick of Obama and what he is doing to the country), why penalize travelers who get to the airport ready to take off their shoes, follow the rules, only to find out that the rules have changed. They will now be exposed to unnecessary radiation and a complete invasion of their privacy. Why isn’t Obama thinking up new ways to stop illegals from entering our country instead of constantly coming up with new ways to penalize American citizens? Think about it. This is an easy way for the government to make money. If a traveler refuses the radiation exposure and cannot stand to be intimately touched by a complete stranger, the TSA agents can claim anything they want about that individual just to collect the $11,000. The traveler wouldn’t stand a chance against the government. This is what our country is coming to; and it is going to get worse because Obama will do anything to insure his win in 2012.
