Know Your Role

Big Sis, Janet Napolitano, says that the invasive screenings at airports are all about security and that people need to know their roles:

“It’s all about security,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said. “It’s all about everybody recognizing their role.” AP

You got that America? You need to know your place and if you fail to see it then the Gestapo in the TSA will put you in your place.

In a country where people who put bombs in their shoes or underwear are given every right available, where they cannot be questioned unless read their rights, where they are allowed access to attorneys and all the legal avenues, the citizens, who have done nothing wrong and are not suspected of doing anything wrong, are subject to violations of their rights.

And Big Sis says to suck it up and know your place. It is all about “…recognizing their role.”

So let me help you recognize your role, Janet. Your job is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Your role is to carry out the functions of Homeland Security without violating the rights of the people. Your role is to do your job without infringing on the rights of the governed, those from whom you get your authority.

Unless you have a valid reason to believe that people are carrying dangerous items on airplanes you have no authority to violate their rights.

Screen passengers all you want but do so in a manner that does not violate their rights.

In America the police cannot just pat down kids standing on a street corner to look for drugs or weapons but our government can unleash its Nazis to molest the traveling public with no regard to personal rights.

And this must stop.

Janet Napolitano, you need to learn YOUR role. If you are unable then you need to resign.

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
