Amtrak police chief bars Transportation Security Administration from some security operations

When I posted the video of a mother and 2 kids getting the TSA grope AFTER they got off the train, I got a lot of flack like, "What is the other side of the story" and" They must have done something." The usual 'police can do no wrong supporters' were trotting out their usual excuses for these thugs. The Amtrak Police Chief didn't believe it at first, but once he checked he was outraged....About time someone supports the 4th Amendment!

Amtrak Police Chief John O’Connor said he first thought a blog posting about the incident was a joke. When he discovered that the TSA’s VIPR team did at least some of what the blog said, he was livid. He ordered the VIPR teams off Amtrak property, at least until a firm agreement can be drawn up to prevent the TSA from taking actions that the chief said were illegal and clearly contrary to Amtrak policy.

“When I saw it, I didn’t believe it was real,” O’Connor said. When it developed that the posting on an anti-TSA blog was not a joke, “I hit the ceiling.”
