In 2011 VIPR Conducted 9300 Random, Unconstitutional Checkpoints, Not One Terrorist Apprehended
VIPR (Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response), another slimy govt agency, attached to TSA, conducted
9300 unwarrented, unconstitutional random checks of innocent American citizens in 2011. Yet, not
one terrorist was found..
Now, this is what has happened since 2005. The VIPR teams have begun conducting
random searches and screenings at train stations, subways,
bus terminals, ferry terminals, and other mass transit locations around
the country.
The objective of VIPR deployments is to augment capabilities that disrupt
and deter potential terrorist activity. However, to date, we have not received
any report of a VIPR team successfully preventing a single terrorist activity,
despite the fact that during this timeframe the FBI, the CIA, and police officers
have been highly successful at discovering and apprehending terrorists
here in the U.S.
Last year alone, VIPR teams ran more than 9,300 unannounced checkpoints
and other search operations. This comes at a rate of approximately 170 to 190 deployments each week.http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CREC-2012-06-07/html/CREC-2012-06-07-pt1-PgH3618.htm
Yet, with this lack of success, congress has authorized funding for an additional 12 teams, bringing the
total amount of teams to 37.
The recommendation includes an increase of $29,711,000, as requested,
to annualize 12 additional multimodal Visible Intermodal
Prevention and Response [VIPR] teams funded in fiscal year 2012
with 6 teams dedicated to aviation and 6 teams dedicated to surface
transportation security. This amount brings the total number
of VIPR teams to 37.http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CRPT-112srpt169/html/CRPT-112srpt169.htm
