Celebrating St. Patricks Day All Weekend Long

I’m not sure what to file this under, or if it’s even appropriate for your site. However, I think it does point to the development of a police state in America.

A local TV station ran a story about the St. Patrick’s Day parade held in Portland, Maine, on 3/16. Prominent in the story was this fact, “Transportation Security Administration officers were visibly guarding the parade route.”

That struck me as odd. The parade was not held at a bus terminal, train station or airport. Why were federal agents guarding a local parade? What business does the TSA have guarding a parade, especially since TSA agents are not trained in police methods or crowd control techniques. Most of them are barely high school graduates.

Have you or any of your associates encountered TSA guarding non-transportation events before? Is this another step toward a national police force and a police state? Another brick in the wall?
