TSA Seeks Permission to Conduct “Security Assessments” on Highways

[Nickdfresh]

The police state checkpoints are right around the corner if the people don't wake up and speak out against this bullshit...

Um, you've gone through a police check point looking for DWI'ers, registration and inspection or seat-belt violations?

How about the fucking gov'ts NEED to inspect and keep track of some of these drug addled truckers working for the bottom feeder companies...,

I recall when I first surfaced my shock at seeing the gateways at the on and off exits of the interstate, but Nick makes a very valid point about the "NEED to inspect and keep track of some of these drug addled truckers working for the bottom feeder companies...,"

If terrorism is such a problem how come the US Federal Government doesn't secure our borders and how come it threatens states that finally get fed up and try to do it themselves? Explain that one. Meanwhile the US Federal Government wants to increase surveillance and inspection on the citizens of the country. As each year goes by they want to do it more and more even when we haven't had a terrorist attack in over a decade.

Trucks are already inspected. It's called the Port of Entry.

It is interstate bottom feeder companies that pose a greater risk. MAINLY it is bottom feeder companies... When it comes to drug addled drivers.

Nevertheless, many (if not most) REAL small businesses have been shut out by so-called "small business" and the need to bottom feed is fact for actual small businesses; predatory business practices are bad, no matter if so-called "small business" or real small business.
