Mexican trucks crossing border unchecked=good! Bottled water on planes=threat.

[BeHereNow]

HELLO???
Does anyone see the extreme idiocy of Homeland Security
in this frame?

You are treated like a criminal by the TSA when you try to
board a plane in the US. You are humiliated, forbidden
to bring an endless list of items through TSA checkpoints
and in general, inconvenienced and dehumanized.

On the other hand, Mexican trucks are now free to
cross the border, transport goods and basically travel
where ever, starting Thursday.

Critical thinkers- please comment on the insanity.

1. I know RIGHT? And they have LEPROSY too!!!!!

[billyoc]

4. Leprosy I can handle. Uninspected cargo with untrained non-union drivers,

I won't tolerate.

[BeHereNow]

8. And what HYPOCRISY!

TSA makes air travel HELL for US citizens and others.
Trucks entering the country? Without inspection?
No problem.
BHN

[BeHereNow]

5. As usual, you miss the point entirely.

The point is national security.
Not nationality.
The point is the ever tightening noose
on the necks of Americans, under the
meme of "national security" versus the
absolute freedom of foreign nationals
to cross the border with NO restrictions.

9. Oh well. (sigh)

[HysteryDiagnosis]

2. No terrorist in his right mind would ever think of bringing in a truck

load of TNT and delivering it to the middle of a refinery or chemical plant. That's so pre911.

[lazer47]

7. OH really!!! tell that to the people in Okla. City

[coco77]

14. Is that where the nuclear power plant ...

shut down the other day. I heard one of these television stations say this before going to break I didn't hear the details.

[BeHereNow]

15. I didn't hear about the shut down. What did you hear exactly?

Curious how the corporate media keeps covering
anything of note...
BHN

[coco77]

20. You know who cnn or other news shows...

that give you a hint of the upcoming story. They said this plant had shut down and we will tell you why you should be worried about it. I had to leave so I didn't hear the story.

[BeHereNow]

22. Interesting...

I wonder what the REAL story is.
BHN

[liberal N proud]

3. It is the bu$h reality - good is bad, up is down.

Wrong is right.

[Desertrose]

6. You pretty well nailed it...

but its more than just insanity.

More than just keeping Amurikans safe...mostly about keeping Americans controlled without messing with the bottom line...profit.

10. Will drivers be restricted to bringing all liquids in a baggie?

You GET my point.

[robinlynne]

30. I'm down with that. And how about whomever is makig the big bucks from this

ingenious new endeavor spring for a few thousand jobs and the machines to screen each 50 pounds of merchandise on those trucks. And union wages and health care, and.... oh, wouldn't be so worthwhile, now would it?

[Saturday]

11. You are absolutely right! n/t

[Lint Head]

12. When are people going to get it?

The TSA is about harassing American citizens not protecting our borders. We are being conditioned for internment camps. If you do not agree with the criminals in the White House you will be thrown into jail. There is no more 'real' freedom of speech that means anything. That's why 'free speech zones' exist. It's a 'put on' a show to satisfy people for a short time until freedom is gone.
The water is boiling slowly and the frog is dying. :dem:

[BeHereNow]

13. Honestly, I don't know...

How people can continue to comply with TSA treatment
and other atrocities committed against our liberties
while accepting a complete violation of our borders
and security is beyond my comprehension.
BHN

[Greyhound]

25. Lint Head is exactly right, all of this, and far more going back to at least

the end of WW II, is all about desensitizing the flock to what is being done to them. From "security" measures, to "taking a bite out of crime", to drug laws, to HOA regulations, to the thousands of other blatant and subtle restrictions that are being imposed on us by those that will rule us, they all serve to desensitize us to the "boiling water" of absolute subservience.

[cloudbase]

16. All part of the show.

I sail aboard U.S. flag merchant ships. Post 9/11, every mariner was vetted by the Coast Guard/Dept. of Homeland Security and issued new documents. Despite this, when I fly out to meet a ship (one way, of course) I get pulled aside for SSSSpecial screening, which is of course totally random, if you believe the screeners.

One end of DHS doesn't talk to the other one, but the show must go on.

[BeHereNow]

17. Random my ass...

DHS is the new Gestapo.

18. It's All about Keeping the Middle Class down,

or what's left of it, anyway.

[rodeodance]

19. This is about taking away jobs from union truckers!

[BeHereNow]

21. Well yes, that will happen, but my point is also about the DHS hypocrisy.

I have friends who are truckers- they are NOT happy about this.

Beyond that issue, I am wondering where the outrage is on the
part of the citizenry of this country at the treatment of them (TSA for example)
in the interest of "national security" when clearly that is
not a genuine concern of the powers that be, as witnessed by
the complete dissolution of border security by this latest
dumb fuckery concerning the Mexican trucking transports.
BHN

[Greyhound]

23. It is a quintessentially American reaction.

Completely inappropriate and utterly ineffective.

[TexasEditor]

24. I see Mexican trucks all the time...

Can't remember when they started crossing over, but they aren't in the same physical condition as US vehicles. What's really outrageous is Corona longnecks selling for $7 a 6-pack, that's a lot for cheap beer.

[BlackVelvet04]

26. I'm not sure what the change in policy is....

trucks from Mexico are seen in AZ all the time.

[BeHereNow]

27. Before- Mexican trucks unloaded goods onto US trucks for delivery.

Now the US trucks have been eliminated from the
delivery schedule.
Mexican trucking companies will now deliver
what used to be US trucking company routes,
nationwide.

BHN

[Desertrose]

31. and I bet they will use that big new superhighway

that isn't really being built...from Mexico to Canada....

Check out theNAFTA superhighway they are so busy denying which means more Mexican trucks and don't forget the Mexican port of Kansas City.


Interesting, isn't it that this admin wants to build walls and border fences-(to keep us in or others out)...and yet....we have this...makes ya go HUH, don't it.

28. Impeach Congress and the WH. Take your country back.

:mad:

[BeHereNow]

29. No doubt- but HOW?

HOW does one go about impeaching the rubber stamping congress!?!
Without this COMPLICIT congress, theKKKABAL WOULD NEVER
HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH 99% OF IT!

Question is, HOW do we go about impeaching congress
for failing to uphold their oath?

BHN:shrug: :banghead: :banghead: :shrug:

[partylessinOhio]

32. I don't think we have the time to vote them out. How about recall of each

member of Congress?

The situation is urgent. Critical in fact. Most of America is in shock or on drugs. I don't know how we can stop this give away of everything American but if we don't we are history.
