Your Welcome Shunty, and this post is not directed a you my Friend, ... ... I ran into this article this morning, ... the "contact" as mild is it might be for now, ... "has begun" and I've been partial to why they are doing all this and I still want to believe that its due to the Islamic criminal elements that are embedded among us and that a serious event is ready to unfold overseas. Some of this reminds me of the Gestapo, but along with all of this, .. we continue to lose small pieces of our Liberties, as they chip away at the Constitution. The last paragraph is a bit disturbing. "Is 1984 here", and in the long run, ... will these people continue to side with Tyranny, or will they change sides and uphold our Freedoms? ... I guess time will eventually tell. ~~ NY Times Confirms That TSA VIPR Teams are Patrolling American Towns By JG Vibes Intellihub.com August 6, 2013 The mainstream media is now admitting that “TSA VIPR Teams” are conducting warrantless random sweeps at sporting events, music festivals, and train depots, and searching people without probable cause. For years, sources within the alternative media have been predicting that eventually there will be a massive roll out of TSA VIPR teams who will patrol local neighborhoods, transit areas, and high profile events. The implementation of this militarized police force has happened very slowly, over the course of a decade, so the general population has yet to catch on, and the mainstream media has been able to completely ignore this situation. That is, until now. This week at Union Station in New York commuters noticed armed agents of the state patrolling the area and searching people randomly. The TSA refuses to say whether they have actually caught any terrorists, but it has been confirmed by various civil rights attorneys that many peaceful people have been busted in these searches for minor drug and firearm violations. The program now has a $100 million annual budget and is growing rapidly, increasing to several hundred people and 37 teams last year, up from 10 teams in 2008. T.S.A. records show that the teams ran more than 8,800 unannounced checkpoints and search operations with local law enforcement outside of airports last year, including those at the Indianapolis 500 and the Democratic and Republican national political conventions. The teams, which are typically composed of federal air marshals, explosives experts and baggage inspectors, move through crowds with bomb-sniffing dogs, randomly stop passengers and ask security questions. There is usually a specially trained undercover plainclothes member who monitors crowds for suspicious behavior, said Kimberly F. Thompson, a T.S.A. spokeswoman. Some team members are former members of the military and police forces. “Our mandate is to provide security and counterterrorism operations for all high-risk transportation targets, not just airports and aviation,” said John S. Pistole, the administrator of the agency. “The VIPR teams are a big part of that.” Although the police, the government and the mainstream media are on board, activists and civil rights attorneys are speaking out against this growing militarized police force. “The problem with T.S.A. stopping and searching people in public places outside the airport is that there are no real legal standards, or probable cause,” said Khaliah Barnes, administrative law counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. “It’s something that is easily abused because the reason that they are conducting the stops is shrouded in secrecy.” Many members of congress are currently squabbling about the effectiveness of this approach, however very few of them are actually questioning the morality of these actions or discussing the legitimate concerns about civil liberties and a growing police state.

Its now below the (mid June pivot) we talked about several weeks ago, and this is what opened up the door to the $80.50.
