Exclusive: Bradlee Dean reveals extent of agency employees convicted, jailed.

You may have seen last week when Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was detained by the Transportation Security Administration for refusing to allow a pat down when the screener gave a false positive detection.

The TSA was looking for another excuse to put their hands on another American citizen in violation of our Fourth Amendment right, which states:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated …”

The only thing their scanners did detect was that Rand Paul had spine enough to resist their unlawful policy. Rand correctly made the distinction between rights and privileges.

Benjamin Franklin was right when he stated: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney immediately responded: “When an irregularity is found in a TSA screening process, it must be resolved prior to allowing a passenger, any passenger, to proceed to the secure area of the airport.”

What is to be done when the “irregularity” is found within the TSA? And when that irregularity is found, then it becomes the responsibility of the American people to correct the crimes of the TSA when agency officials will not correct themselves.

Take note: This is the same criminal administration that is at war with governors of states who are attempting to prevent illegals from entering this country, while allowing the TSA to violate American citizens. This government has labeled every single American citizen as a suspect in terrorism.

Again, the TSA has no lawful authority to put their hands on you. Why? Because it stands contrary to the United States Constitution.

The Supreme Court declared in 1803, “All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.”

I am all for safety and security, but not at the cost of giving up our rights that have been purchased at such a high price. The scanners are sufficient. Furthermore, airports are not required to host the TSA, which, by the way, have not successfully caught a single terrorist.

During an interview with Sen. Paul, Megyn Kelly with Fox News stated that refusing a pat down puts up red flags in the minds of TSA agents.

However, Megyn had it backwards. Let me put into perspective what the red flags truly are: namely the crimes of TSA employees toward those who go through security lines at the airport – employees who have been charged, convicted and jailed.

This video portrays these TSA red flags, which they don’t want you to know:

First time devices linked with cancer risk used for public sports event.

Fans attending the 2012 Super Bowl on Sunday will face a new level of security in addition to pat downs before they are allowed to enter the Lucas Oil Stadium – full body x-ray scanners.

According to WPRI.com News reporter Matt Touchette, despite a congressional demand for an investigation into the machines following health concerns, the scanners will be part of the security set up in Indianapolis this weekend, marking the first time that the controversial devices have been used for a public sporting event.

“I was out for a stroll with the intention of snapping some photos for our blog when my travels took me to Lucas Oil Stadium of all places,” writes Touchette. “It was there that I stumbled upon a temporary Patriots street sign put in place close to the site of Super Bowl XLVI (appropriately). I then found myself walking into the side gates of the stadium, through intense security which included full body scanners and then down the tunnel onto the field.”

Although Super Bowl authorities and Homeland Security have announced that pat downs and bag searches will be part of security procedures before the game, they have failed to properly inform the public that x-ray body scanners, linked with cancer risks by numerous prestigious health bodies, will also be in use.

Hailing “the most technologically protected Super Bowl,” Frank Straub, Indianapolis’ director of public safety, said that “X-ray machines” would be used throughout the stadium, but didn’t specify whether this referred to devices that scanned bags or people.

Senator Susan Collins, ranking Republican on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, yesterday introduced a bill that would require an independent study of backscatter x-ray scanners, following the TSA’s about-face on a decision to test the machines. The federal agency also backtracked on a promise to test TSA workers themselves for radiation exposure last month.

Numerous studies conducted by prestigious universities and health authorities, including Johns Hopkins, Columbia University, the University of California, and the Inter-Agency Committee on Radiation Safety, have warned that the x-ray scanners will lead to an increase in cancers.

Johns Hopkins’ biophysics expert Dr Michael Love warned that, “statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays,” after conducting a study of the naked body scanners.

The Lucas Oil Stadium will be surrounded by a security perimeter that fans will have to clear before they even get to the stadium itself.

“There will be a security perimeter around the stadium through which all fans must pass before entering the gate,” reports Yahoo Sports, adding that fans should not feel “self-conscious about getting patted down” because “this is the world in which we live now.”

As well as pat downs, bag searches and full body scans, fans are again being encouraged to text in reports of “suspicious activity” to Homeland Security officials.

Trucks making deliveries to the stadium will also be forced to pass through a vehicle x-ray scanner, technology that is now being introduced at US border checkpoints and on regular highways with little regard for the health risks involved.

Last year, the NFL announced its new policy would be to conduct pat downs of all people entering stadiums nationwide, a measure required as a result of NFL’s partnership with the Department of Homeland Security.

Homeland Security is also developing technology to be used at “security events” which purports to monitor “malintent” on behalf of an individual who passes through a checkpoint. The promotional video for the program explains how “Future Attribute Screening Technology” (FAST) checkpoints will conduct “physiological” and “behavioral” tests in order to weed out suspected terrorists and criminals.

The clip shows individuals who attend “security events” being led into trailers before they are interrogated as to whether they are terrorists while lie detector-style computer programs analyze their physiological responses.

A group of progressive scientists want the government to regulate sugar like it regulates alcohol and tobacco.

They propose banning sugar sales to those under 18 as well as massive taxes on sugar and products with sugar in them. All of this to save us from some imagined epidemic that will kill us all. Their arguments are eerily similar to the prohibition arguments made in the early 20th century. The only difference, besides the “evil” product, is that this time progressive scientists are pushing for government regulations rather than progressive Christians.

The world cannot be saved via collective action. Prohibition didn’t stop people from drinking alcohol and it didn’t stop the social problems associated with drinking alcohol. Likewise a prohibition on sugar will not stop people from eating sugar and it won’t stop any of the supposed social problems associated with sugar. The problem with progressives is that they’re absolutely convinced that government action can and will save people from themselves.

The history of the prohibition movement is rooted in progressive Christian theology. It has almost nothing to do with traditional Protestant Christian theology, which has never opposed alcohol consumption. (largely because the Bible doesn’t) Progressives however don’t believe in a strict individual salvation, they believe in a collective salvation. If alcohol is causing problems, the collective salvation of the country is threatened and therefore the government must do something in order to protect us. Ultimately they believe that sin can be eradicated from society by government action.

Such is absurd of course when one looks at the sin of mankind through the lens of scripture rather than progressive ideology. What’s interesting is that our nation has moved so far to the left that the progressive Christian ideology of the early 20th century is now called conservative. The Duggar Family, for example, is considered a conservative Christian family. In reality, much of their theology is rooted in early 20th century progressivism. The difference between people like the Duggar’s and modern progressives is that at some point in the mid-20th century people like the Duggar’s had enough of the move away from the Christian faith within the progressive movement. Nevertheless, the Duggar’s are opposed to alcohol sales and believe in a host of regulations that will protect the collective salvation of family and society. Most of which of course has nothing to do with scripture.

Fast forward to today and the Duggar type progressive Christians have done one of two things. They’ve either stopped progressing in the 20th century or they’ve become secular. The secular progressives have staked society’s future progress on science, which is these days the god of the progressive movement. Rather than fighting for an alcohol ban, they’re fighting for strict regulation of sugar.

It’s all to create a better society, so they say. But in doing so, they take away individual freedom for no legitimate reason. People won’t stop using sugar, they’ll simply move to other forms of sweets. Corn sugar, molasses and other products will suddenly replace old fashion white sugar. Even if all sugar was regulated, the fact is that people aren’t going to suddenly get healthy and lose weight. What the progressives don’t understand is that people make choices in life and like it or not most people choose to be unhealthy.

Sugar isn’t the cause of people’s lack of good health, our choices are. If sugar becomes to expensive, then folks will be unhealthy eating potato chips or bacon or name your unhealthy food. No doubt the sugar banning scientists will go from one healthy item to the next, demanding more and more government regulation to the point that the government will decide what we eat for each meal.

Even at that point, the progressive collective salvation will not be reached. Why? Because the black market will thrive with sugary treats, potato chips and all manner of unhealthy food. Just like it did with alcoholic beverages in the 20′s, just like it does today with untaxed cigarettes and drugs. Salvation isn’t realized through government action. We cannot save society from itself by banning alcohol, sugar and tobacco. Salvation is Christ’s and Christ’s alone. We either look to him or there will be no salvation. Secular progressives may reject this but it’s amazing to watch progressive Christian’s (now called conservative) also reject it.
