TSA Has Been Compiling A Shitlist Of Travelers It Just Doesn't Like
The TSA is the worst. Super-secret watchlists can keep people from flying -- people deemed too dangerous to travel but not dangerous enough to arrest. This isn't the TSA's fault. Not these lists. Those are maintained by agencies who could possibly cobble together enough intel to build a flimsy case against these "dangerous" would-be travelers.
The TSA, however, maintains its own database of travelers. It can't necessarily keep them from boarding airplanes, but it can give agents a heads up that the person in the queue probably needs to be detained and hassled. [via Boing Boing]
[...] It's an agency shitlist, and only the TSA knows who's on it. This list doesn't contain people who've actually assaulted agents, but people who've expressed their displeasure with intrusive gropings through words or non-violent deeds. The agency's official statements make it clear this is an arbitrary way to punish travelers who make agents unhappy, noting that it neither requires "injury" to a TSA employee nor the intent to do so. Instead, the list contains anyone who presents a "challenge" to the "safe and effective completion of screening."

It's this kind of thing that makes me wish these useless mass shooters would do something more useful with their lives. Like, perhaps, shooting TSA agents, politicians, or those working for the NSA.

Wishing something would happen is different from saying you're going to do it. And I'm not joking. These mass shooters are throwing their lives away anyway, so they may as well do something useful while they're at it.

right. *If* you're going to crack up and shoot people; don't be a bitch and shoot random undefended people, especially kids. Don't lose your life without taking out some trash first. Kill pigs, or better yet, the politicians who control them. Maybe the CEOs and lawyers that control the politicians or subvert the laws of the country? What about every federal reserve banker in the country? What about every IRS, DEA, FBI, ATF piece of shit in the country? What about the USDA goons that are raiding food coops with guns drawn? Fuck the loser scum at the TSA too. What about the CDC, big pharma and doctors who turn kids into nonthreatening zombies of the state or Manchurian candidates? Local sheriffs enforcing un-american and in many cases illegal state revenue streams and slave catching schemes like property tax and drug laws. What about the "news" reporters that knowingly spew the masters' propaganda daily? There are plenty of people who think they can do whatever they want and you won't do shit. People that are known enemies of freedom and the people. Kill those motherfuckers. Post their crimes on the internet so the media can't lie about your motives(important).
ORRRRR
dumb asses could just quit paying their paychecks! Then they will have to either get honest work or reveal themselves for the parasites and predators they truly are without the cover of their titles, uniforms and badges. You could dedicate yourself to exposing enemy lies, spreading the truth and most importantly organizing resistance.
