TSA Continues Its Unchecked Expansion Across the U.S.Brandon Turbeville Of course, with the exception of a few alternative news sites, the fact that the TSA mission creep has advanced several steps further in recent weeks has scarcely been mentioned by major news sources. Predictably, the mainstream media has been almost completely silent on the issue save for a few passing mentions in the middle of articles describing the electric atmosphere of the DNC. One such mention was made by John Sweeney, a reporter who is attending the DNC. In his article entitled, Hurricane Bloodhound hovers over DNC, in the September 5, 2012 edition of the Florence Morning News, Sweeney confirmed that not only was the TSA in attendance, they were indeed screening DNC participants upon arrival at the convention hall. Sweeneys mention of the TSA was itself only cursory when he stated, But the real ruckus in Charlotte didnt come from handful of protesters I encountered on the way TWCA for the opening gavel or even the TSA who screened me before I entered the hall yes, the airplane police were in charge of screening it came from the delegates inside. Unfortunately, there was no further mention by Sweeney as to just how invasive the screening actually was. Nevertheless, it now appears that earlier reports claiming that the TSA would be both present and active during the DNC have now been confirmed. Watson continued, suggesting that the Screenings experienced by the DNC participants were more than basic metal detectors and bag searches. He stated, The TSA presence at the DNC comes only one week after the RNC, where the TSA was also involved in screening convention-goers. Likewise, the TSA was present at a recent Paul Ryan event in The Villages, Florida where attendees were forced to undergo aggressive bag searches and body pat downs.
