Detroit TSA Security Theater

Sam Dodson of OTN did an excellent job as a real journalist — as opposed to a corporate Mockingbird script-reader — when he went to the Detroit Metro airport and confronted the TSA on the Gestapo tactics they employ in airports in order to cow the public into submission.
The video starkly reveals how airports have become locked-down Stasi zones where passengers are followed around by uniformed agents and armed thugs with bomb-sniffing dogs if they arouse the slightest bit of suspicion.


Dodson gives these authoritarian functionaries no quarter and confronts them on their arrogant police state tactics at every turn. He refuses to turn off his cell phone camera, peppers them with questions, and repeatedly objects to their assumed authority and petty school yard bully power trips.
An excellent job. More citizen-journalists need to produce these kind of videos and become a righteous thorn in the side of the state as it continues its concerted effort to turn the nation into a police state hell hole under the pretense of protecting us from patsies and dupes the government ludicrously claims are terrorists with fizzle bombs tucked in their underwear.

Michael, Michael, Michael-
I am very familiar with every word that he spoke, with Maddow, and in the NPR and newspaper interviews that led up to the Maddow interview. If you pay any attention to the totality of Paul's remarks, three things become clear.
1). Paul supports the parts of the act that outlaw discrimination by the Federal government. 2). Paul opposes the parts of the law that outlaw discrimination by private business. 3). Paul is so unfamiliar with the law that he carries the mistaken impression that there is only one title in the act that outlaws discrimination by private business.
In fact, in one of the three interviews he admits he is not very familiar with the Act.
Again, yes it is "mainstream" in 2010 to accept the fact that discrimination in the private sector based upon race, religion, or gender should be unlawful. It is mainstream to believe that the ENTIRE Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a good law. Rand Paul disagrees, therefore Rand Paul is outside of the mainstream.

Its interesting to see the defense of Rand Pauls theories but everything I've read falls very short for a few reasons:
- When Woolworths wanted to remove the black students from their lunch counter who did they call - THE POLICE- When the freedom marchers were trying to get equal service from the private businesses what was one of the tactics used to get them to back down - HOSING BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
You guys want your fires to be put out and your streets to be cleared of garbage and your private businesses to be safe from thieves and you have no problem using the pool that includes my tax dollars to do it but you still want to claim autonomy when it comes to allowing me the right to patronize your business. And, lets not get it twisted. Most of these businesses didnt outright keep blacks from shopping there. They just wouldn't let me try on or return clothing that I purchased or eat where I purchased the food which would always leave me treated like a second class citizen (but my money was always treated first class)
So, unless you can find a way to "Segregate" my tax dollars from the ones that build the roads and sidewalks and sewer systems to your business or that provide police, fire and emergency services then you're being a hypocrite and don't have a leg to stand on in your argument. You can't have it both ways!
The fact that Dr. Paul can say that he would've marched with Dr. King while disagreeing with a major part of the act he marched for shows just how out of touch he is with that REAL LIFE challenges behind his "theories" that affected millions of African Americans and how out of touch he would be with the reality facing all Americans.
