An Austin man detained at Austin Bergstrom International Airport for “circumvention of the screening process” last June was found guilty as charged Friday in an Austin municipal court. Michael Haendal was on his way to Washington D.C. for a job interview when he ended up in TSA custody. "They stopped me because I had a bottle of water in my luggage." In an effort to protect travelers, the federal agency is now enforcing a new pat-down regulation that went into effect last fall. According to Haendal, while being wanded by a security officer, he mentioned that he didn't like the idea of being frisked. "I was in the position, my arms were spread out, my legs were spread out, they were behind me wanding me, Haendal said. "They said, 'Ok, you're being uncooperative' because I said I didn't want to be patted down. I didn't say I refused to." The Transportation Security Administration takes its job seriously, and according to documentation provided to YNN by Mr. Haendal, they charged him with circumvention of the screening process. Airports officials confirmed he had been detained. Haendal said police kept him in a room for two hours, with the burden of defending himself in municipal court. On Friday, he was found guilty as charged, and Judge Sherry Statman fined him $1 for his crime. More than the cost of the fine, missing his flight to Washington D.C. cost him a potential job. "I was just trying to comply with what they wanted to do. I was effectively a walking zombie. I was so tired, it was five o'clock in the morning, I got two or three hours of sleep, I was just hoping I wouldn’t fall asleep in the airport and miss my plane." Haendal told YNN he should not have been found guilty of the Class C misdemeanor, 'circumvention of the screening process'. He also said that dealing with the court system was almost as unpleasant as being detained by TSA. The judge in this case has not returned phone calls made by YNN.

Good, that'll keep the peasants in line. I feel safer knowing that homegrown domestic terrorists like Michael Haendal are duly punished for their threat to our nations security. "America, America, God Shed His Grace On Theeeeeeee...."

It should make us all want to go Tunisia on'em.

One might get the impression that the government and court system are in cahoots???
The judge only fined him $1, an act of judicial sympathy??

__________________________________________________________ Spineless judge that dared NOT to go against the system. Years ago I had a friend that was a judge, olde school. When a cop came in front of him with a BS charge such as this, he would scorch the cops ass and throw them all out of court, with a warning to the cop, "dont ever come in here again with such nonsense"...
Actually I think the PTB would like that as then it gives them the excuse to open up into full out police state operations. At this point violence is counterproductive. The PTB are to some extent constrained by their need to keep up the pretense that we are still a free society. That keeps the Sheeple in line tied down by their own self-created mental shackles. Their game is to keep the Sheeple asleep and grazing until they can begin mass kill offs without significant opposition. Our soundest play is to continue to keep the information out their and stretch things out until they collapse from their own contradictions and the growing awareness of greater and greater numbers of people. Twenty years ago probably no more than 1 percent of the population, and probably less, were aware of the broad scope of what is occuring and that it is according to a plan. I would guesstimate the numbers now at 3 to 5 percent (and growing) and we already outnumber them. At some number, unknown to me, we will reach a tipping point and slowly, inexorably, like a receding tide they will lose. Slowly at first but then picking up speed. Until then we fight. We fight by making others aware, by keeping the truth alive, promulgating it, spreading it, and like oil on troubled waters it will smooth out and the turbulence will decline. That is part of the key too, as they rely on the turbulence to mask their actions and the chaos to provide pretext. Remove those and they are laid bare like a rock on a beach in the receding tide.

Passing out http://onedollardvdproject.com DVDs, I'd say that the awareness is much, much higher. Maybe thirty to sixty percent. It's really hard to quantify.
