(Before It's News)

The Young Turks report on YouTube (back in June) that the TSA has a watchlist for, among others, people that annoy them or talk back to them. Is it an enemies list? Apparently it includes your date of birth and even your social security number. Anyone have more information?

  • TSA = GESTAPO. Is that so hard to grasp?
    NOW they are going after your JOBS ……….

    You’ve heard of no fly and no buy lists – get ready for no work lists. Millions of workers now must apply to the DHS and prove they are not terrorists in order to be granted permission by the government to work.

    On the Alex Jones Show today, a caller pointed to information posted on a union website for ironworkers spelling out details on the Department of Homeland Security’s TWIC and SWAC programs.

    twic

    TWIC is short for Transportation Worker Identification Credential and SWAC stands for Secure Worker Access Consortium.

    TWIC “is a biometric credential that ensures only vetted workers are eligible to enter a secure construction site, unescorted,” Ironworkers Local 361 in Ozone Park, New York, explains. “Before issuing a TWIC, TSA must conduct a security threat assessment on the TWIC applicant. An applicant who, as a result of the assessment, is determined to not pose a security threat, will be issued a TWIC card.”

    In other words, construction workers in New York will need permission from the TSA and DHS in order to practice their profession and earn a living. It was much the same in the former Soviet Union and authoritarian states such as China where the government determines all aspects of an individual’s life and where even the mildly rebellious are severely punished.

  • If we do not fight them in the airports,
    we will be fighting them in our neighborhoods ……….
    when they try to frisk you for walking down the street.
