[Marxism] TSA harassment of innocent traveler

[Pat Costello <pt_costello@xxxxxxxxx>]

A Ron Paul campaign worker was traveling with $4700. The legal limit for 
travelling with cash is $10,000 yet the uninformed TSA goons grilled him for 
over half an hour about the money. The recording of the interogation is worth a 
listen. The victim asks repeatedly if he is required by law to answer the 
series of intrusive questions and the cops become increasingly aggitated yet 
refuse to answer. one can only imagine the numbers of innocent travelers who 
have been subjected to this kind of harassment. 


The ACLU is suing.
