It’s tax time here in the good old U.S. of A.
Hands up…how many of you complained about having to pay your taxes? After all, who doesn’t complain about taxes and the IRS?
Complaining is not only a privilege, it’s a right. And as Americans we can complain as much as we want about anything having to do with the government—and there’s nothing they can do.
Or can they?
It seems one government agency sees any complaint about it as a threat. Can you guess which one? C’mon, guess—it’s easier than you think.
All right, I’ll give you a hint. It’s letters are T.S.A
That’s right folks, the TSA now believes that anyone making negative comments about its procedure could be a terrorist threat.
Complaining, or for that matter praising TSA, could be seen as a diversionary tactic and therefore a threat against the country.
So, apparrently, our First Amendment right to free speech is yet another part of the Constitution the TSA ignores.
Have you also noticed when TSA’s actions are questioned, it’s not a third party who investigates to see if they broke the law? It’s TSA themselves. They get to decide.
