The Dan Lee Report

Some nitwits in the Department of Homeland Security have decided that it would be a good idea to imprison you on an airplane like a Dog that they’re trying to keep in the yard with an electric fence.

This is not a joke (unfortunately), & they are completely serious. The DHS wants to create a bracelet that will shock a passenger on an airline if they get out line. Everyone who enters the secure area of the airport would be required to wear one. Oh, & get this, they want to put the controls in the hands of a crew member on the plane. Not a law enforcement professional with criminal justice training, but just a crew member.

Besides the obvious constitutional violations that are immediately presented in tandem with such a retarded idea, I have a few questions about this. What if the crew member accidentally shocks the wrong passenger, or decides that a fight on board justifies hitting the “apply to all” button that we all know will likely exist? What about people with heart problems? Computer malfunctions? Bracelet malfunctions? Ok, now that we can see this idea is ridiculously reckless & dangerous, lets go back to the constitutionality..

Putting a person in what amounts to a pair of shackles (with a twist of voltage) absolutely violates the 4th amendment; The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

This idea absolutely violates one’s right to “self” & should never have been researched with tax payer money in the first place. It’s one more example of how out of control our government has become, & while I sympathize with the DHS’s need for security options, violating a person’s personal space with a mandatory shock bracelet is going more than too far. It is a form of detention, no matter what the advocates of this system want to try & make you believe.

Let’s just stick with the Air Marshal’s ok? I’d rather have one of those sitting next to me with a tommy gun on a plane, than have someone violating my personal freedom based on something I haven’t done yet, or even plan on ever doing.

Here is a video apparently promoting this system:

In fairness, there are also documents on the lamperd site discussing using these for controlling illegal aliens once in custody that you may want to check out regarding the “other” uses proposed between the DHS & Lamperd Less Lethal. Now that is a good idea, because they’ve actually broken the law! Also check out the responses from DHS over here at MM’s place.

As far as these bracelets being used to violate the rights of innocent civilians? I will campaign against them personally, & will be one of the first to file suit against the government if they try to impose one on me as a condition of flying on a commercial aircraft. How would the DHS/Lampert people react if I pointed a pistol at them the whole time they were shopping in my convenience store? They’d surely tell me to put the gun down, to which I would say: “Hey, I’m just keeping it on you in case you decide to rob me.. Besides, the safety is on right now, so no need to worry. You’re in very capable hands, just trust that I wont shoot you, & that I’m well trained to point this loaded gun at you safely…”

I leave you with this video. Is this what it’s coming down to?

Yep, on CSpan today she said that photos used in Police lineups are more likely to contain minorities than others, & also that you may be denied a promotion because of information that the government is collecting on you. She offered no proof by the way.. As usual.. As her various crackpot co-conspirators from the ACLU in promoting the liberal agenda went on with their baseless tirades against the NSA, they too of course provided no proof for what they were saying. My question for her is who was denied a promotion because of an NSA wiretap, or any other information gather by the NSA?

You know If the ACLU hadn’t already ruined their reputation by attacking Christians in public schools, & sympathizing with terrorists, they might actually be useful to curb government abuse. Unfortunately they pick & choose their cases based on their political ideologies. They are in the tank for the Democrats, & this whole Cspan discussion is just another front for attacking Bush. Bush derangement syndrome at it’s best.. Or worst? The problem is, if the current Presidential administration was Democrat, they’d be talking about something else. Motives people. It’s all about the motives.. Mike German actually admitted that with the change of Presidential Administration, he hopes to be able to “dismantle some of these surveillance programs.” Well at least he admits he’s completely biased!

Isn’t it great? Your tax dollars at work in the ACLU, attacking the programs that protect us from terrorist attacks! Terrorists love the ACLU..
