Just think, these incompetent thugs are going to be unionized.
A TSA agent in Connecticut was charged with harassment after he posed as a cop by flashing his badge at a woman in an attempt to intimidate her into driving faster, an incident that highlights concerns about the TSA becoming a domestic security force.
The woman called police after off-duty TSA worker Donald Eichler, 63, began aggressively tailing her vehicle before flashing his TSA badge at her at around 9:30am yesterday in South Windsor.
“He told police he was upset that the woman was driving slightly below the speed limit on Sullivan Avenue, honked his horn a few times and showed her his TSA badge to try to get her to speed up, according to a release from police,” reports NBC Conneticut.
The woman said she felt scared and intimidated by Eichler’s behavior, who was subsequently arrested and charged with driving a vehicle to harass or intimidate. His case is set to be heard on August 8 at Manchester Superior Court.
Considered in isolation, the incident appears to be little more than a petty power trip, but when you factor in the documented epidemic of harassment, criminality and abuse that TSA agents have been caught engaging in both on the job and off-duty, it’s not surprising that the rollout of an army of TSA agents to provide “security” at every level of American society, from train stations to bus terminals, from highways to high school proms, is stoking concerns that the federal agency is set to become the de facto “civilian national security force” that Barack Obama promised in his pre-election speech.
……Last month, the agency conducted a “security exercise” that covered 5,000 miles and three states, illustrating how the TSA is establishing a broad mandate setting itself up as a domestic security force.
The fact that TSA agents like Donald Eichler think they are part of a federal law enforcement arm that can intimidate Americans into obedience even when they’re off-duty, like some kind of Gestapo storm trooper, is a damning indictment of the training that the federal agency is giving its employees, and a shocking warning of what kind of individuals are being hired by the TSA to staff their federal security takeover of America.

That potential “domestic security force” will be the last step in Obama’s socialist “fundamental transformation”. There’s one thing that Big Government should keep in mind: The Second Amendment.
