TSA loudspeakers threaten travelers with arrest for joking about security

HOUSTON, TX — Travelers are reporting threatening messages coming from the loudspeakers of the Travel Security Administration. The TSA has been broadcasting warnings that people will be arrested for making jokes in the presence of the infamous federal checkpoint agents. Policestateusa.com has obtained exclusive audio of the threats.
Matt Miller said on the morning of September 20th, during his return trip from Colorado to Florida, he spent a few hours in Houston waiting for a connecting flight. Sitting at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, he repeatedly heard a TSA audio message on the intercom that disturbed him.
Miller documented the message with an audio recording via his cell phone and sent it to us.
This wasn’t the first report of threatening messages coming from the TSA. In June, musician Jordan Page reported similar threats. “Any comments or jokes about security may lead to your immediate arrest,” he shared with his Facebook fans while traveling through Houston. Page is known for his outspoken views on liberty and his hit song by the same name.
The TSA has never been bashful about violating people’s rights. The agency’s entire job description is to search travelers without probable cause or a warrant. Their intrusive searches, abusive treatment of travelers, ineptitude, and penchant for stealing have made them a source of disdain and a butt of jokes since the TSA’s inception in 2002.
But be careful about what you say. Because now they violate your 1st amendment, too.
Think twice about asking the blueshirts to buy you dinner before they rub your genitals. Requesting lubricant may be a mistake. Mocking their stupid costumes, low intellect, and general disdain for human dignity may get you arrested.
So stand straight in line, do as you’re told, forget about your freedom, and keep your comments to yourself. Obey the lautsprecher.

Travelers who attempt to make a joke about strict security procedures at airports have been warned they face arrest.
A loudspeaker announcement made by the Transport Security Administration warns the public: ‘Any inappropriate remarks or jokes concerning security may result in your arrest.’
Concerned passenger Matt Miller recorded the loudspeaker message while passing through George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas.
In the recording a female voices on the public address system says: ‘Pay particular attention to your luggage. Any unintended luggage will, and personal belongings may be treated as a danger to the facility.
‘Do not be persuaded by strangers or individuals you do not know very well to take articles aboard your flight.
‘You are also reminded that any inappropriate remarks or jokes concerning security may result in your arrest.
‘We appreciate your cooperation while these measures are in effect.’
It is unclear if this message is being broadcast at any other airport in the U.S.
But the agency has now been accused of trampling over the constitutional right of free expression.
The tape recording was posted on American radio host, author, conspiracy theorist Alex Jone’s website Infowars.com, which branded the warning ‘unlawful and illegitimate violation of the First Amendment’, adding that it was ‘designed to intimidate travelers and stop them from complaining about aggressive grope downs’.
The agency has also faced accusations of over-zealously imposing search procedures on passengers while also missing potentially serious security breaches.
It has also been beset by a series of damaging or embarrassing stories which appeared over the past year.
A nine-year-old boy from Minneapolis was able to evade TSA security checkpoints to hop a Las Vegas-bound Delta jet without a ticket on October 2.
Earlier this year, an undercover inspector managed to get through a security checkpoint at Newark Airport with an improvised explosive device stuffed down his pants.
Meanwhile, it offered an apology to a Missouri family after one of their agents detained their wheelchair-bound three-year-old daughter.
In March, an airport security worker who discovered a container of pepper spray at JFK sprayed five of his colleagues with the chemical as he was ‘playing around’ with the canister.
All six TSA screeners were taken to hospital, and security checks at JFK were said to have been held up for at least 15 minutes following the incident in Terminal 2.
A former Newark TSA screener also went public with claims his co-workers were lazy, inept, and absolute failures at stopping security threats in a shocking interview.
Rep Duncan Hunter (R-California) wrote a terse letter to the Transportation Security Administrator asking why a double-amputee Marine was forced to remove his prosthetic legs and later had to stand on them without the use of his wheelchair.
TSA has fired back with their own account, saying that initial CCTV footage shows Cpl Gaal passing through the security checkpoint at Arizona’s Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport without removing his prostheses.
U.S. travelers may be facing extended wait times in airports across the country as a result of sequestration, but that did not stop the Transportation Security Administration from paying tens of millions of dollars for officers’ uniforms.
