It is obvious how terrified folks in government have become of the
people. Go to a courthouse today even to pick up a tax plat of your own
property. X-ray scanners stand guard for all the sheep to herd through
like the gates of a livestock auction. Don’t let your tie clip set of
its bells, because when that happens the second level of security kicks
in. Real people run wands over your sensitive areas to make sure
NOTHING comes in a building to threaten anyone who works there.<br></span></font><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><br>Go to the state capitol. Same thing. <br><br></span></font></div>

Anywhere public servants gather, security is on high alert. From video
cameras & multiple TV displays of every drive way, parking lot,
walking lanes, and hall ways to even spy satellites beaming images up
for assorted acronomical agencies of government (CIA, NSA, DHS, etc.) to
view the sheep here on earth. This has become worse than even Orwell
imagined.<br><br></span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> Only someone who is really hiding something, or is completely paranoid, needs that much security! So which is it?<br><br></span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> John Basil
Barnhill is quoted from 1914 as saying, “Where the people fear the
government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you
have liberty.” Well, either we have a phenomenal level of liberty
around today, or our government is paranoid to the point of psychosis.</span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">
It would seem that in a TRULY free society, the public would never
tolerate compulsory exposure to radiation (x-ray machines), and the
privacy invasions brought out by this police state of affairs. Rifling
through our brief cases, emptying out pockets, and even subjecting
people to more detailed searches when they deem it “prudent” is a
colossal burden both on the people subjected to it, and the taxpayers
who are footing the bill for all this high-tech electronic gadgetry
& the salaries of these assorted police and security units. <br><br></span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">
As for the radiation levels – are these “guards” certified on
x-radiation equipment the way a radiologist would be at a hospital? How
many times can a person “safely” pass through these machines per year?
Do they keep count, and notify you when your number starts climbing
into a danger zone? Where can we get those little clip-on indicators
(like they have at power plants) to monitor the level of exposure? How
dangerous are these devices to computers and other electronics that are
being perpetually bombarded?<br><br></span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">
We won’t dig too deep into the constitutional protections against
“unreasonable” search & seizure. But the only times the word
“security” is used in the Constitution; it talks of our security FROM
government! So what is the reason for this harassment? Did someone
tell someone else that a person matching MY description had a weapon and
was coming to this particular building? Unless there is a REASON
(supported by an affidavit & a warrant), American government is
supposed to STAY OUT OF MY STUFF! Now that was true “security.” <br><br></span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">
And for what do we endure this security breech? When was the last time
a bomb was found coming into a courthouse in a briefcase through the
front door? At any statehouses or city council chambers? If you count
the number of “police” officers involved in such totally paranoid
activities on behalf of other public servants, you can only shake your
head in sheer amazement. This amounts to off-the-charts spending for
absolutely nothing in return. <br><br></span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">
The police state has turned our American principles on their head.
Instead of “innocent until proven guilty,” we now inconvenience probably
100,000 totally harmless people for the one forgetful soul who, being a
farmer, simply forgot to leave his job-required Barlow pocket knife at
home or in the car before coming to the state capitol to protest
federally mandated RFID tracking- chip insertion into his chickens. <br><br></span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> Only one of two things can be true. <br><br></span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">
Either we have so much money to waste in this nation that this seemed
like a good way to put some people on the payroll, and to further
bankroll select security gadget manufacturers; OR, these public servants
are so terrified of their performance in office that armed guards and
x-ray machines are the only thing making it safe for them to be an
elected official.<br><br></span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> Try as I might, I just cannot come up with any other answers. Inquiring minds want to know – which is it? </span></font></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in;" class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">
And besides, going to work for the government should be a little
un-nerving to those doing it. Maybe if they were stealing a little less
from us to pay for such devices, they’d have less reason to fear us so
badly. It’s time to get rid of about 95% of the police state. Public
buildings are a great place to start cutting the budget.</span></font></div></div></span><br><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3"><br></font><br><font style=""><strong><a href="http://www.firecongress.org/" target="_blank"><font style="" color="#0000ff"><span style="text-decoration: none;"></span></font></a></strong></font><strong><a href="http://www.swampfox.mysundanceglobal.com/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: none;"></span></a></strong>
