thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/16879-tsa-to-pre-screen-air-travelers-tax-info-property-records-travel-history"Owe money to the IRS? Having trouble making your mortgage payments? Ever been sued or been arrested? Soon, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will know the answers to these questions before you pass through security, and they might affect whether you are cleared for travel. In a recently published article, the New York Times reported: The Transportation Security Administration is expanding its screening of passengers before they arrive at the airport by searching a wide array of government and private databases that can include records like car registrations and employment information. The complete list of sources of personal data reviewed by the TSA also includes: ▪private employment information ▪vehicle registrations ▪travel history ▪property ownership records ▪physical characteristics ▪tax identification numbers ▪past travel itineraries ▪law enforcement information ▪“intelligence” information ▪passport numbers ▪frequent flier information ▪other “identifiers” linked to DHS databases" Wow. I'm speechless. Yeah, I know right.
I have believed that mass transit is one way to filter people into areas to scan them and disallow concealed carry. Now the TSA is going for even more.

It's just the beginning. Wait until it's linked to your electronic health record.
This country needs a change.

Or better yet, they start enforcing healthcare on you. I read a rant/speech basically saying that no matter the form of govt they will all drift towards facism the more power they have over indiviuals personal information. The greatest threat to a people has always been their own governments. At least in the past 100 years. Once a ruling party starts saying everything will be great without those people ha e caution.

Look at Russia and the former USSR. That's what we will be. Including breaking down into individual member states. I forget who said it, but the person said whenever the public finds out they can vote themselves money from the public coffers, the country is doomed. This has been true since the Roman Empire. Look what did them in, immigration, and an entitlement society. Keeping in the theme with this thread, the two films that give me jitters are Minority Report and Gattica. The premises of pre-crime (although not using special beings), and genetic racism I see happening here, all run by DHS. .

I forget who said it, but the person said whenever the public finds out they can vote themselves money from the public coffers, the country is doomed. . "The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money." - Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859) "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." Ben Franklin (?) Plato said something similar many 1000's of years ago, but my search-fu has hit the 4pm naptime...
