Hey PlainOl, You might want to refresh your memory with Article One, Section 6 of the Constitution....
I was opposed to the creation of the TSA, as well as the Orwellian sounding, "Department of Homeland Security". Arm everyone with a baseball bat as they board a plane, problem solved! I just traveled over to Germany on Tuesday, and the difference between the TSA and their European counterparts is like night and day. It is imperative that we disband Homeland Security as well as fire every asshole that works for TSA.
