TSA Caught on Tape Bullying Defenseless Ron Paul Supporter
April 03, 2009
Steve Bierfeldt was detained and harassed at the St. Louis airport for carrying "too much" cash, which in his case amounted to about $4,700. Bierfeldt, a devoted Ron Paul fan who's certainly not going to take this lying down, secretly taped the incident, and now you can hear it for yourself and marvel at the overbearing behavior of these TSA thugs. Listen as Steve remains calm and collected as he's threatened with the FBI, the DEA, and called a smartass. The tape runs out when the TSA folks are walking him to a police station, but that's where the story twists a little. It seems that a plainclothes FBI agent intercepted the little Kafka march, whispered in the TSA peoples' ears, and Bierfeldt was immediately let go. He made his plane. And now he's making the news rounds. Clip after the jump.

Cmon Henry, that’s the weakest attempt of discreditation I’ve ever seen. Get a life. Listen to the freakin audio and tell me that this guy’s rights weren’t being violated.

You are spreading wrong information, TSA did not detain the individual it was Law Enforcement who did. Please leave TSA out of you bull crap. All of you are just looking for are headlines.

If you don’t understand the danger of these power tripping cops and over zealous under educated TSA people, then you don’t understand liberty and how precious it is…
Screening for guns and weapons is one thing. Treating you like a piece of garbage is another… They are majoring in the minors at the airports… No shampoo allowed, meanwhile behind the scenes baggage areas are completely unsecured… They are fools with there security measures… They aren’t even logical.
I hate to travel now! I feel like I’m being taken to jail, stripping down, taking my shoes off and being xrayed… The airports need to fight to get the security back into there own hands. Any more regulations people won’t travel as much…
“if you have nothing to hide, answer the question” what a load of crap. What part of America being a free country do all of you hate. Cash is not a reason for this treatment.

Here is a TSA video on youtube that pretty much sums up our ghetto ass federal government. States Rights!

This is the first time it occured to me to wonder.... WHAT was the FBI agent doing there and why did he know so much about this passanger?

TSA:the agency that is so undereducated and over-empowered. We would be better off fending for ourselves. I’ve seen these idiots run a metal detector over a 6 month old infant in diapers. While they are busy getting macho over everyday folks the real threats pass them by. It’s time to shear these sheep of the police state and make them subject to prosecution for excesses and bill of rights violations. The “wartime” excuse is just so much crap, it’s time to bring down the fascist disrespectful idiots that wear these tin badges/.
