Freedom to Travel Event, Part 2

[Russell Kanning]

It could spread.....boy the appealing to the constitution thing worked out well.....the guy doesn't even know it exists.

[Russell Kanning]

It is going to be a matter of who outlasts who.....the TSA/PD or "we the people"

[Michael Fisher]

I did not take my shoes off.  I got the 'extra security'.  They asked me to turn my belt buckle down.  I said 'No, if you want to pat me down pat me down but I won't help you.'  He then got mad asked me again.  I refused.

NICE!!!  Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!!!    I am very proud of you.

Russell are you trying to make me a radical ?? ( You too Mike!!)

Yes.

[Russell Kanning]

too late Dreepa is a radical.....he is just not cooperating as much anymore.

[JonM]

Russel, perhaps you could make a t-shirt with the 4th ammendment on the front and the entire bill of rights on the back for this event.

[Russell Kanning]

I don't like the constitution that much.....maybe that one would work good for Dreepa or others.

[Dreepa]

Russel, perhaps you could make a t-shirt with the 4th ammendment on the front and the entire bill of rights on the back for this event.

That is a great idea.

I fly a lot for my job.  That could be my travel shirt.

[Dreepa]

So my flight today from SLC to SFO.  They did not ask me to take off my shoes and  I went right through.  So I decided to ask a Supervisor what are the rules about shoes and 'pat downs'.  His answer, 'I am not allowed to tell you.'  'You mean it is a secret', I said.
"yes'.  I said I thought I lived in the USA not USSR.  He didn't get it and said that it was because the US govt doesn't want terrorists to find out.

I told him that as soon as I find the list I am going to put it up on the internet.

[John]

I know I got here through "Civil Disobedience" mostly.....just because I was born here doesn't mean I owe this government taxes.

What, you didn't sign the "social contract" where you pledge your life's labour to the state?

Ya.  But if you're willing to sign, won't they give you a nice badge?

I'm sure I've read about it somehere.  It's a very personal badge, and you can must keep it with you EVERYWHERE I go.  They say it will be a nice (safe) badge.

It think they were calling it REAL ID; and it will have ALL of your personal infomation on it.  Not only that but  - YOU CAN KEEP IT FOREVER - They will even update it constantly as they see fit . . . in a few short years they will even put a GPS chip in there "for you" . . . Maybe soon they'll even put a small one under our skin.

They must love us very much and just don't want us to get lost.
All we need to agree to is giving up Freedon & Dignity!

[Russell Kanning]

So you can run into a lot of interesting situations in a week at the airport.

Cool...Claire Wolfe mentioned Russell:

"Precisely," Dora-the-Yalie piped up, springing to her feet in the front row. "Like Russell Kanning from New Hampshire. He's going to board a plane on June 11 without government ID or get arrested. He's doing it as a protest gesture, inspired by Gandhi. We should encourage more people to take stands like that."

[Michael Fisher]

Russell, are you going to put your letter to the TSA online?

[Russell Kanning]

Oh yea.....I sent one to the guy who runs the airport....but didn't keep a copy.

I said.... I hoped we could make it easier and more comfortable for people to fly out of our airport and told him how I like the Manchester airport. I just think that the TSA guys are not treating us very well.

[Friday]

In the fight against National ID and TSA insanity, there have been many great articles written, but not much action taken.......that is why we are starting our non-cooperation campaign.

On June 11th we need to combine our efforts.....during the civil disobedience we should be handing out flyers with links to all the great websites and stories about the problems with National ID and alternatives. We also should have as many liberty lovers as possible available to talk to the media and onlookers about their thoughts on our growing police state.

Kat will be putting together a flyer before the event and would love ideas for what to put on it. We also could use as many friendly freedom lovers to spread the word at the airport.

Is it OK if I dress like a Hare Krishna?
