Criminal defense attorney Mark Bennett has slammed the Houston METRO and the TSA for a “counter-terror” exercise that involved cops and TSA agents riding buses as undercover spies, as METRO Police Department Chief Victor Rodriguez denied that random bag searches had taken place despite a post-exercise METRO press release stating bag searches had occurred.
Unsurprisingly, the expensive drill didn’t turn up any terrorists, it snagged a few prostitutes and drug dealers, but given that the whole idea is to condition Americans to accept TSA goons getting in their face every time they try to travel anywhere, consider it mission accomplished.
However, Attorney Mark Bennett isn’t letting it go lightly, pointing out that using 81 uniformed feds to conduct such a pointless operation at a time when local governments can ill afford it is unforgivable.
“This isn’t about terrorism — they’re not busting terrorists, they’re not finding bombs. And that’s not even what they’re trying to do,” Bennett told ABC 13.
