PORTLAND, Tenn. – You're probably used to seeing TSA's signature blue uniforms at the airport, but now agents are hitting the interstates to fight terrorism with Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR). "Where is a terrorist more apt to be found? Not these days on an airplane more likely on the interstate," said Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons. Tuesday Tennessee was first to deploy VIPR simultaneously at five weigh stations and two bus stations across the state. Agents are recruiting truck drivers, like Rudy Gonzales, into the First Observer Highway Security Program to say something if they see something. "Not only truck drivers, but cars, everybody should be aware of what's going on, on the road," said Gonzales. It's all meant to urge every driver to call authorities if they see something suspicious. "Somebody sees something somewhere and we want them to be responsible citizens, report that and let us work it through our processes to abet the concern that they had when they saw something suspicious," said Paul Armes, TSA Federal Security Director for Nashville International Airport. The Tennessee Highway Patrol checked trucks with drug and bomb sniffing dogs during random inspections. "The bottom line is this: if you see something suspicious say something about it," Gibbons said Tuesday. The random inspections really aren't any more thorough normal, according to Tennessee Highway Patrol Colonel Tracy Trott who says paying attention to details can make a difference. Trott pointed out it was an Oklahoma state trooper who stopped Timothy McVeigh for not having a license plate after the Oklahoma City bombing in the early 1990s. Tuesday's statewide "VIPR" operation isn't in response to any particular threat, according to officials. Armes said intelligence indicates law enforcement should focus on the highways as well as the airports.

Uh yeah, everyone should indeed be aware at all times of what's going on in front, behind and beside them when they are driving. It's called defensive driving but it doesn't mean that you need to call the federal government every time some jackass cuts in too close to you after he passes you or does something else dumb. If everyone on the highway called Big Brother every time they imagined they saw someone doing something they didn't especially like there would be even more carnage on the roads than there is now because they wouldn't be paying attention while they are talking to Big Brother Janet.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton The human herd stampedes on the fields of facts and the valleys of truth to get to the desert of ignorance. Saman Mohammadi The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. Albert Einstein "...if the military is going to defend our freedoms, then we need freedoms to defend. Our freedoms must be restored before the military can defend them..." Lawrence M. Vance Você me trata desse jeito só porque eu sou preto. Junior (my youngest son)
Good luck with that. They are much more likely to tell them to go fuck themselves. And I wouldn't call them "random searches on the highways" either. That is deceptive, at least for now. I dont recall every having a dog sniff around my truck in TN but it happens in the border states all the time so what's the big deal? TN also has equipment at some of their scales that scans trucks automatically for bombs etc. These are things that a terrorist will already know about and will avoid.
-------------------------------------------------------- Good luck with that. They are much more likely to tell them to go fuck themselves. The Rush Limbaugh/Cuntry Wessern listerners' will explode all over themselves with excitement at the the thought of ketchin' muzzie Turrists'. Never mind that Score now sets at: Number of honest citizens terrorized and subjugated into docile sheeple: 1,000,000+

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

Number of Turrists' caught by TSA = 000.000000000000000000000000. That's NOT the point. If it saves one child's life, wouldn't you sacrifice a little inconvenience to preseve This Greatest Nation On God's Green Earth (shoutout to Michael Medved!!)???
On one hand this does sort of make sense. It would be childs play to put drugs and/or explosives inside a trailer and the driver goes on his way blissfully ignorant of what he is hauling. We have to trust a piece of paper to tell us what it is, and sometimes even then we have no idea because it's just a bunch of stock numbers. I'd be shocked if someone told me that I never hauled drugs. But now we have the slippery slope again. They will take a good thing and turn it into something bad. The TSA is a joke. Glorified incompetent night watchmen.

The TSA is a make work program for minorities. I was a First Responder when I work for Illinois DOT, but that was a different story. HAZMAT spills, to be specific.

The Bolsheviks were ALL Joos. Trotsky was one for sure. Plus, they were all sent to Russia from NYC. So, where then, did the Bolshevik Revolution emanate? From the very bowels of the Capitalist system. It was indeed a false flag operation.

Good luck with that. They are much more likely to tell them to go fuck themselves. LOL So would I. I'm an ex-truck driver myself.

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll
