Man Faces Charges for Defying TSA Agents

By Stuart Dyson, KOB Eyewitness News 4
A Seattle man’s trial in Albuquerque on charges of making trouble at an airport security checkpoint is getting attention from civil liberties groups all over the country.
Phil Mocek was arrested at the Albuquerque Sunport in November of 2009 after he refused to show I.D. to TSA officers at the security checkpoint. Police say Mocek became disruptive. They arrested him and charged him with disorderly conduct, refusing to obey an officer, criminal trespassing, and concealing his identity.
After many delays, his trial in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court was scheduled to begin this morning, but the judge ordered it postponed until January 20.
Intel Hub Editors Note: This man was initially charged because he wouldn’t SHOW his id. Isn’t this what we were so against when we went to war with Nazi Germany? This is arresting American Citizens because they wont show their id!
