TSA âSecurity Exerciseâ Covers 3 States, 5000 Miles Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com June 15, 2011 If youâre still living under the delusion that the TSA is just restricted to airports then think again. A joint VIPR âsecurity exerciseâ involving military personnel has Transportation Security Administration workers covering 5,000 miles and three states, illustrating once again how the TSA is turning into a literal occupying army for domestic repression in America. The TSA, in alliance with a whole host of federal, state, local agencies as well as military personnel, is currently conducting a massive âsecurity exerciseâ throughout Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. âThe participating teams are composed of a variety of TSA assets including federal air marshals, canine teams, inspectors and bomb appraisal officers. They will be joined by state and local law enforcement officials to supplement existing resources, provide detection and response capabilities. The exercise will utilize multiple airborne assets, including Blackhawk helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as well as waterborne and surface teams,â reports the Marietta Times. Although the exercise is couched in serious rhetoric about preparedness, it relates to âno specific threatâ and the details are nebulous to say the least and seems to revolve around little else than testing out high-tech surveillance equipment and reminding Americans who their bosses are. âIn addition to using three helicopters for aerial inspection, the exercise made use of the Ohio Highway Patrolâs camera-equipped Cessna Caravan, which is capable of transmitting close-up, detailed real-time images of objects on the ground taken from more than five miles away,â reports the Charleston Gazette. The exercise seems to be about little more than a show of force by the TSA in light of a massive resistance against their agenda, particularly in Texas where a recent bill that would have banned invasive TSA grope downs almost passed and is set to be up for debate again. Michael Cleveland, federal security director for TSA operations in West Virginia admitted as much when he said the event was about letting, âpeople know weâre out here.â As we have documented, TSA grope downs and body scans are now being rolled out on highways, street corners, train stations, bus depots, public buildings, at sports events, and even at local prom nights as part of the VIPR (Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response) takeover of the country. The TSA has also announced its intention to expand the VIPR program to include roadside inspections of commercial vehicles, setting up a network of internal checkpoints and rolling out security procedures already active in airports, bus terminals and subway stations to roads and highways across the United States. These internal checkpoints, run by Homeland Security, the Department of Transportation, and the TSA, involve trucks being scanned with backscatter x-ray devices in the name of âsafetyâ and âcounter terrorismâ. Since the launch of the Department of Homeland Securityâs âSee Something, Say Somethingâ program, the DHS has also released promotional material which depicts would-be TSA agents conducting searches at public events, including a Buccaneers football game. Homeland Security is also developing technology to be used at âsecurity eventsâ which purports to monitor âmalintentâ on behalf of an individual who passes through a checkpoint. Forget the airports, the TSA has already spread its tentacles to invade almost every public facet of American society. President Obamaâs election campaign promise to create a domestic âsecurity force,â that is âjust as powerful, just as strongâ as the US military is now coming to fruition as the TSA expands to turn American into a checkpoint-festooned hellhole where constant fearmongering about terror threats is the justification for the construction of a Sovietized police state.
