"Big Sis Launches Undercover TSA Spies To Ride Houston Buses

Feds to watch for suspicious activity, pre-crime behavior

A new program in Houston will place undercover TSA agents and police officers on buses whose job it will be to perform bag searches, watch for “suspicious activity” and interrogate passengers in order to ‘curb crime and terrorism’.

Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee unveiled the program, labeled Bus Safe, during a press conference on Friday. According to a Metropolitan Transit Authority of Houston (METRO) press release, agencies involved in the scheme will, “ride buses, perform random bag checks, and conduct K-9 sweeps, as well as place uniformed and plainclothes officers at Transit Centers and rail platforms to detect, prevent and address latent criminal activity or behavior.”

“While local law enforcement agencies focus on overall safety measures noted above, representatives with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will also be on hand, lending their counter-terrorism expertise and support during the exercise,” states the press release.

“If you think you’re going to be a bad actor on buses, get ready. You are going to have a short-lived time frame,” Jackson Lee said during the press conference. The Congresswoman is a staunch advocate of the TSA, having recently chastised the passage of a new law that allows airports to evict TSA agents and replace them with private screeners by claiming it would lead to a new 9/11-style attack.

According to KPRC 2 News, METRO refused to disclose on what dates or bus routes the program would be operational. As well as TSA agents, police officers from the Harris County Constable’s Office Precinct 7 will be involved.

According to Phillip Levine of the Houston Free Thinkers blog, shortly after Lee gave her press conference the operation went straight into effect, with DHS and Metro Police officers questioning passengers who were exiting buses about their destinations and their reasons for riding the bus.

“When I arrived at Wheeler I got off the stage and instantly noticed the massive police presence. The police presence consisted of DHS, metro police, HPD, TSA, and Harris county police officers. They were going on to buses searching and stopping people for questions. Apparently Sheila Jackson Lee was there pushing for more security like what I was viewing. I asked the TSA agent if there was gonna be a bigger presence of metro or TSA. He said both,” Levine said in an email.
This is a wake-up call for Americans who had hoped to avoid being harassed by TSA agents by not using airports.

TSA agents are now being used to literally occupy America with an expansion of the 9,000 plus checkpoints that were already operational last year. 12 more TSA VIPR teams (Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response) will be added to the 25 who are already present at transportation hubs throughout the country. ..."

My husband just said that and then added in, when was the last time we heard of any terrorist on a city bus anywhere in the united states?

Time to form a US Civilian Counter-Intelligence group.

Under cover TSA? If an undercover TSA agent tried to search me for any reason, better get the EMT's dispatched immediately. They have no real power and their charade is gonna end in trouble. Unless people just keep on accepting these nazi tactics.

Like when my car was searched by DHS to get on a small ferry.
When has a ferry ever been blown up?

why should people who have no other way to get around have to give up on the bus? Better idea is to have a mass beat down on the TSA goons and throw them off the bus.

Let's see.

Boycott....yes, inconvenient, but after a few days of very few riding the bus because people are out holding signs that say "Ban the TSA from our city buses!" I think they would get the message.

Or

Have a mass beat down or two, which turns into matrial law and the entire city shutting down. Then who's riding the bus?

And they could be beating an innocent person, since they mentioned that they would place plain clothed TSA agents on buses.

Once they flash a badge that says TSA they are fair game. It is way past due for major civil disobedience. Not just on the bus but at airports. Imagine if all Americans refused to be x-rayed or patted down. If mass crowds in airports refused them.

I doubt our founders would have called for boycotts. King George was not even a tyrant compared to what we have now.

I am thinking the people that are affected by this need to take a page from the truck drivers.

When agents are spotted they should tweet their location snap a pic and make it available for all to see.

They say that patience is it's own
REWARD,
while this is wise and true,
with enough patience comes
COMPASSION
and this always seem
TO BE THE ANSWER.
