IIRC, some "agancy" did this at a downtown bus stop in INDY about a year or so ago.
From what I can recall, the "official" reason told to local press was that it was some sort of "test" or "drill". Regardless, it wasn't well recieved by the public here in INDY. |

Quoted:
TSA Now Storming Public Places 8,000 Times a Year Americans must decide if, in the name of homeland security, they are willing to allow TSA operatives to storm public places in their communities with no warning, pat them down, and search their bags. And they better decide quickly.
Bus travelers were shocked when jackbooted TSA officers in black SWAT-style uniforms descended unannounced upon the Tampa Greyhound bus station in April with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and federal bureaucrats in tow. A news report by ABC Action News in Tampa showed passengers being given the signature pat downs Americans are used to watching the Transportation Security Administration screeners perform at our airports. Canine teams sniffed their bags and the buses they rode. Immigration officials hunted for large sums of cash as part of an anti-smuggling initiative. The TSA clearly intends for these out-of-nowhere swarms by its officers at community transit centers, bus stops and public events to become a routine and accepted part of American life. Hey, haven't ya heard, the government is broke and needs a new source of revenue. |

18 Saudis and 1 Arab Emirate hijacked 4 commercial airplanes almost 10 years ago. They flew the airplanes into the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. As horrible as these events are they pale in comparison to what has happened to our individual liberty. In response to the actions carried out by 18 Saudis and 1 Arab Emirate we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. We've spent what will amount to trillions of dollars in the name of preventing another 19 motivated individuals from carrying mass destruction.
What they won't tell you is that in a FREE society nothing can be perfectly safe. A motivated, organized, group of intelligent individuals can kill people. As has ALWAYS been the case. The likelihood of them killing YOU is very low. However, there is a very HIGH likelihood that YOUR individual freedom will be compromised by the .gov, using the excuse of trying to protect you from this low level threat. In the effort to make it safe THEY must take some of your freedom. Let's look at the last 10 years. 2,973 Americans were murdered on 9/11. 160,000+/- American's have been murdered by other Americans since 2001. 4463 Americans have died in Iraq. 1629 Americans have died in Afghanistan. 110,000+/- Iraqi civilian combat deaths. ...couldn't find civilian deaths for Afghanistan. Our spending on Defense has tripled since 9/11....and some scream for more. If we packed it up today, including long-term care for the combat disabled, and the interest due on the money "we the people borrowed to fight these wars" the total cost would be in the neighborhood of $2.7 TRILLION. We now have a BRAND new Department of the Federal Government, complete with offices, supplies, expense accounts, employees with benefits and pension plans....that is here to stay. We also have new laws, and the beloved TSA. Our National debt has grown by almost 300%, Americans seem more afraid than I've ever seen them (...and I grew up during the Cold War, when we thought if a button was pushed we were 30 min away from Madmax Thunderdome) And the fly on this pile of shit...... 19 motivated, organized, intelligent people could kill a lot of people....TODAY.

Is there a federal statue barring someone with a valid carry permit from carrying on a bus? How about a pocket knife? They don't have the legal authority to dictate what you can have on your person for every mode of transportation.

Whadda ya know, just as much as I've argued why do I get by just fine driving where ever I drive without security checks, why is it they're so necessary on plane flights? Then the TSA said, we'll 1 up em! Lets secure other modes of transportation as well!
