And the Constitutional power is where?

PORTLAND, Tenn. – You're probably used to seeing TSA's signature blue uniforms at the airport, but now agents are hitting the interstates to fight terrorism with Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR).

"Where is a terrorist more apt to be found? Not these days on an airplane more likely on the interstate," said Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons.

Tuesday Tennessee was first to deploy VIPR simultaneously at five weigh stations and two bus stations across the state.

Agents are recruiting truck drivers, like Rudy Gonzales, into the First Observer Highway Security Program to say something if they see something.

"Not only truck drivers, but cars, everybody should be aware of what's going on, on the road," said Gonzales.

It's all meant to urge every driver to call authorities if they see something suspicious.

"Somebody sees something somewhere and we want them to be responsible citizens, report that and let us work it through our processes to abate the concern that they had when they saw something suspicious," said Paul Armes, TSA Federal Security Director for Nashville International Airport.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol checked trucks at the weigh station with drug and bomb sniffing dogs during random inspections.

"The bottom line is this: if you see something suspicious say something about it," Gibbons said Tuesday.

The random inspections really aren't any more thorough than normal, according to Tennessee Highway Patrol Colonel Tracy Trott who says paying attention to details can make a difference. Trott pointed out it was an Oklahoma state trooper who stopped Timothy McVeigh for not having a license plate after the Oklahoma City bombing in the early 1990s.

Tuesday's statewide "VIPR" operation isn't in response to any particular threat, according to officials.

Armes said intelligence indicates law enforcement should focus on the highways as well as the airports.

so why do we need more law enforcement? they just need to stop the b/s and implement martial law already. it's getting ridiculous. they just do what they want, and tell the people accept it because the citizens think it is lawful, that we "need" it, or just don't give a damn because they are too self absorbed with their facebook and video games. fucking demagogues.

If I ever get pulled over at a checkpoint they are not poking through my shit.

I feel safer already...

And the Constitutional power is where?

That question can be posed to many things the Federal Government has imposed in the past 30 years....

Don't worry, the coming Zombie Apocalypse will make this BS moot....

pretty much how its been for a while IMO. just not as cut and dry as 1984.

This is a wasted motion. Truck drivers have been subjected to anti-terrorism training for a decade and a a half. Hell, every truck show I went to had countless seminars on how to identify possible terrorists, homegrown and other.

I can see a bunch of road ragers dialing them up and getting people pulled over by the TSA and getting cuffed & stuffed, sniffed, weighed, x-rayed, hand-jobbed, fingered, groped and salad-tossed.

This is just training for turning in your neighbor for anti-government thoughts and opinions in the near future.

Here's how shit should be done:

They're on the boat to America and they see a sign...

"Welcome to America. Land of the free, home of the brave."

...they go a little further and see another sign.

"Wanna know how we became free? Because we were brave."

...a little further.

"Upon arrival you will receive a firearm and your ship will turn around."

...on the way back.

"Good luck. You owe it to yourself, your family, and your country.......Godspeed."

If they did that I'd have a hell of a lot more respect for them. I wouldn't think of all of them as just pitiful little peasants who aren't willing to risk anything, but would rather just mooch.

[Mach1Run]

They're not even competent at the job they're supposed to be doing now why give them anything else?
