  • If just 20 per cent of the flying population REFUSED TO FLY, TSA would be gone in less than a week.

    

  • TSA: "How much money do you have in there"? None Of Your Fucking Business!

    TSA: "Where are you travelling to"? None Of Your Fucking Business!

    TSA: "What do you do for a living"? None Of Your Fucking Business!

    Fucking TSA are Walmart greeters with some temporary authority and they have run with it.

    Vote for Ron Paul in 2012 and they will disappear. Or, like Reagan did with the IRS, they will get WAY more polite and better trained. Fuck the TSA!..just a waste of money.

  • Comment removed

  • This is all because of 9/11.

    We're all considered terrorists now and treated like scum by the elitist cock suckers of the NAZI TSA stormtrooper units.

    If they don't allow snacks on planes, why do planes get to carry snacks on board?

    Oh because they screen the snacks.

    Why not just screen the potato chips and carrot sticks before we board?

    Oh, because carrot sticks might be used as weapons, so the slaves can't eat without ruthless physical abuse by power hungry gestapo TSA thugs.

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

  • You posted this video on my birthday! :D

  • Go to tsacrimes com and sign the petition to ablish this tryranny

  • Fuck the TSA & DHS. Flying has never been safer and since the TSA I have not felt safe.

  • Barry is doing NOTHING about this abuse!!!

  • @maxwell377 You don't deserve it. Do you know those scanners put out ten times the level of ionizing radiation of a ct scanner? Is it ok, if you opt out to have your balls touched? Exuse me? Your an excuse of an American. Go live in china. You dserve neither liberty or secrutiy since your giving up liberty.

  • Does anyone know what app he used to record.. I heard it wasn't the voice memos app that comes with the iPod....???

  • @760ejm The application I used was called, "italk." I believe they have a pay version, but I downloaded the free version.

  • Do we live in a police state now?

  • I am a disabled veteran with a hip replacement. Every time I fly threw SFO, TSA puts their hands in my pants. Why can't they just wand me with a metal detector on my right hip?

  • @jvolstad Sir, show them a card. If they insist ask for a supervisor. If they are scanning you with the backscatter waves, then its like a CT. They have no reason to touch you.

  • iphones are so last decade. lol now the latest stuff is laserguns & pocket sonar shields. lololo :)

    Fight the good fight against tyranny

  • no i am not refusing to answer, what i need for you to tell me first is whether or not i am lawfully bound to answer your question..

    brilliant in its simplicity

    don't stand for being violated

    if they can't tell you if you must lawfully answer, keep asking for someone who does know.. and understand that a low iq tsa employee knows shit about law.

  • The DEA? An idiot with a GED and a bad attitude just throwing letters around hoping to scare someone.

  • The 'Officer' was disciplined? BULLSHIT he was disciplined, the TSA monkey manager probably high-fived him for delaying a passenger and getting to use the interrogation room.

    Call in the DEA and the FBI ? They'd laugh at the TSA monkey over the phone.

    TSA to the DEA: Ugh, yeah, ugh I be gottin' this man wif munny and he don't be talkin' like I be's likin' him to talk so can you come axe him lottsa' qweshions? Uhhh and bring the FBI along wit yous.

  • THAT IS WHY HE WONT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION!!!! he knows that by law you are not LEGALLY required to answer that they were just hoping u would be DUMB enough to 'cooperate' with them. cooperate should be another word for arrest me. sad sad state of affairs when this happens on a daily basis. never refuse to answer, always question their motives! congrats to u:)

  • IF YOU LOOSE IN COURT KILL THE MOTHER FUCKING MODERN DAY NAZIS! SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS!

  • IF YOU LOOSE IN COURT KILL THE FUCKERS

  • BOYCOTT FLYING.

    Americans, you have lost your freedoms.

  • All they will do is slap his wrist for cursing at him. They want people like this. Pull em out of mcdonalds, train em, and you got a goon for life

  • I remember when, "Your papers, please," was a joke on Hogan's Heroes.

  • Monitor, collect, and publicize names of those stating or suggesting security trumps liberty. Do the same for those in TSA who directly violate your rights.

    Presume them to be domestic enemies of this free nation. We already have THOUSANDS of government agents who promise to bring them to justice.

  • Hitler would be proud of the TSA, and Osama is probably laughing his ass off at how we are becoming a police state. 

  • It's like Nazi Germany all over again. Less and less rights by the day, then they'll take your houses and your land and eventually our lives. Funny how it took them ten years to introduce all these scanners. Yet another deflection away from the 9/11 truth. It's too disgusting for words, we must unite and stop allowing them to treat us like cattle!

  • wtf since when is 4700 dollara alot of money ?

  • @WATCHTHISSTUPIDVIDEO wow, you sound like a baboon spewing out propaganda like yesterdays bananas

  • @sp4zzj4zz BIG BROTHER WATCHING YOU☺

  • @pete5668 your very small minded, you could of made a real comment but you chose to act primative about it

  • The two people that dislike this video are TSA Agents

  • I hope they make an example of them. this should not of happened in the first place.. I just goes to show how they abuse there so called power. they were securing the money what pricks...

  • "APPEARED" to Threaten!? I think the tape explains itself. They ABSOLUTELY THREATENED him. And notice the TSA only "disciplined" this thug (government news-speak for DID NOTHING TO HIM) rather than FIRE the S.O.B.

  • To hell with fuckin home land security, all they do is abuse people and their whole damn organization is unconstutional, fucking pigs are gonna burn in hell.

  • The TSA sucks, at Chicago O'hare, a TSA agent told me I would be fined $200 the next time I forgot that a water bottle was in my bag...if I did not have to catch a flight I was late for, I would have filed a complaint.

  • @keeperzero yest, i had an incident with TSA at Chicago O'hare, my parents (doctors) were going to Sudan to fight malaria and help kids with retinoblastoma.i was saying goodbye to them way before the checkpooint by ice cream shop... he yells at me to clear the area... i was confuse...I'm like oh I'm blocking the ice cream shop, you shouldve said that...he got pissed... he started to curse at me and told me i wish i can kill all u muslims. I asked for his name, he covered his badge &called police

  • @Noby1980

    You say you're a Mudslum? He probably thought you wanted to blow up the ice cream shoppe, because you know that's where the infidels get their immoral western ice cream.

    Even if he killed you, that's one less Mudslum terrorist in America.

  • @USAon3 lol...poor guy... never went to school so got stuck with ignorant views.

    Word of advise... when you open your mouth, you want people to listen to your wisdom not be annoyed with you, that wisdom my friend can only come with education... i dont know what are you circumstances...but please try to get some education.

    take care.

  • @Noby1980

    Let me put this in your own mud language:

    AREY FIK.

    There. Now go cry to your pedophile prophet, MohamMUD.

    Allahole Fuckbar! WILILILILILILILI

  • @keeperzero the chicago police came and asked me to clear the premises, he didnt even hear my side, i said before i leave may i get his name, he said i cant give u that, i said how do i file complaint if i dont get anything about him, he just insisted me to leave the premises. Chicago Ohare TSA have been harassing passengers and will continue to do so. I understand u didnt have time but try to complain so it doesnt happen with others. Take care.

  • LoL... they don't play the best part of this (which you can find here also)... when the guy asks (again) "am I required to answer....?" the genius fxckin rent-a-cop can only come back with "look Man, I ain't yo' trans'lata".. rofl... Yeah no fuckin kidding, if I want a translator I'ma wants me one dats talkin english, foo... not some halfwitted low-rent fxckin' ghetto trash with mush-mouth gutter disease and a paycheque that'd make a Filippino shoe-stringer fxckin' laugh... fxck the TSA and NWO

  • I am sorry just "disciplining" is not good enough, there needs to be prison time, and maybe public whipping...

  • @Magcomplex

    LOL We should be so thankful for our criminal government to treat us like criminals.

  • @Magcomplex send him back to africa with the other apes.

    2 Dislikes

    I'm going to assume those 2 dislikes were the result of accidental clicking.

  • @danieldeibler The 2 dislikes were TSA agents ;-)

  • Staged

  • Thanks for the video, loved it! My father flew KC135's (tankers) for the Air Force and I grew up on and around airplanes. Now I am taking a flight for Thanksgiving and it is gonna be nasty seeing what is going on! Thanx again.

  • Such a fantastic report! Great job, CNN, kudos for this wonderfully reported piece.

  • TSA is Marxist and the U.S. Congress has been bought and paid for by Goldman Sachs (Commies). There's no justice in America. They throw truth tellers in jail.

  • I'm glad to see that most Americans have forgotten that freedom is a tenet of our country. As we become more complacent, more of our freedoms are taken from us. I carry a knife with me at all times, even on a plane, right past security. If I were a criminal, I could have already hijacked a plane. Now remind me again what security you think the TSA is providing?

  • the elite will always fall. and they shall fall hard

  • GO GO GO! Stick it to 'em! THEY DO NOT EXIST FOR OUR PROTECTION!!!

  • Keep fighting the good fight, you have lots of supporters. Stick it to 'em.

  • Great job, Steve! You are more level-headed than many. There was absolutely nothing that a reasonable person (even a MSM reporter!) could have faulted with your response to a bunch of fascists trying to make up for their impotent & unsatisfying lives! ... I guess after this incident, ALL recording devices will be banned as carry-on...

  • TSA press statement, "... a passenger who refuses to answer questions may be referred to appropriate AUTHORITIES for further inquiry". This is so un-Constitutional on face value, that it's laughable! "WHERE'S YOUR PAPERS!". I don't have to answer any goddamn questions from any TSA Goon. If a TSA Goon wants to meet me somewhere when he's off duty, we can settle the matter then and there. Most TSA Goons are squeaky little cowards anyway. And cowards don't like the Constitution, or freedom.

  • abolish the tsa. abolish homeland security

  • @greenback001 DUDE ARE YOU NUTS.

    YOU PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS.

    DUDE WE PLAY GAMES LIKE CALL OF DUTY AND MEDAL OF HONOR BECAUSE WW2 is by far the most impressive war to date.

    We are in eye witness of forthcoming WW3. This is the new NAZI GERMANY, the HOMELAND SECURITY IS THE NEW GESTAPO...dude DOCUMENT and TAKE PICTURES. Keep it all for the future.

    WHEN THE ALLIES COME TO LIBERATE US THEN WE HAVE THE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL.

  • Stay Strong!

  • The problem with the TSA is that it exists. What will you say when you need a TSA card and submission to a background check to ride in a subway car, board a bus, leave you home after curfew? Nothing?! When I enter a courthouse, I pass a metal detector, and maybe have my suitcase checked for an explosive. No nail clippers confiscated, no bottle of water disposal, and certainly no unlawful detention because I have large sums of cash in my pocket.

  • pjmyou.. couldnt agree more

  • Go Steve GO!

    Folks - support and join the campaign for Liberty!

  • GO! Campaign for liberty- Go Ron Paul 2012.

    Steve is Super educated to have that fast of legal comebacks with agents without actually answering.

    Independence day celebrates Independence from other countries and YOUR Constitutional rights.

  • he should'a just made it all more interesting and beat the shit out of the agent.

    I sure would've.

    If I as a citizen ask why you demand and force questions from me and ignore me through asking the same question, it's my duty to shoot first and answer your questions later.

  • The police state and Nazi-style tactics of the criminals that hijacked the United States must be exposed. What's next? Tasering an old woman? (Err... wait, that already happened).

  • Way to go Steve!

    Not all TSA are thugs everyone. Are all soldiers baby killers? No! Many TSA are ex-military and police. Like every group, it has it's share of a-holes with issues, that I can vouch for.

  • Keep fighting!!

  • this is why i will not fly on any domestic flights.i can pay top dollar for a flight that doesnt even offer you a thing except aggravation !! they dont want an armed air marshal on flights but lets have nine dollar an hour rentacops pretending to be federal agents harassing passengers who paid top dollar for a flight....go out of business already id much rather drive and have it take longer to get where im going

  • Thanks CNN for covering the story! Keep fighting sir! Thanks for being brave enough and confident enough in what our country should be to stand up for your (and all of our) rights!

  • way to go kid !!!! thugs with badges

  • Give an a-hole a little authority and they usually turn into bigger a-holes that do shit like this. I think some TSA agents just like being able to intimidate people. It's the same reason schoolyard bullies become cops....or teachers or TSA agents!

  • I have. Freud is a junky that thought it okay to do research on the human psyche simply so his masters could manipulate the masses into this large orgy of dimwitted asshats that we see today who actually believe they are doing some good. Like you and your coworkers. Your not, your just as evil. Simply put EVIL uses GOOD to bring about more evil.And GOOD uses EVIL to bring about good. Sometimes you just dont see the results for a couple hundred or even thousands of years.

  • Although I think Wolf is an ASS the article was interesting

  • good game

  • I applaud the stance taken and am 110% behind Ron Paul and CFL and everything for which they stand, but can't help but wonder how many kilos of coke, pounds of weed, and weapons got through security while you had tweedle dee and tweedle dumb so confused and frustrated? It's a sad state when you can litterally "hear" a law enforcement official's ignorance of the law they have taken oath uphold...they absolutely had no idea how to deal with a man who knew his rights and wasn't intimidated by them.

  • So this individual was questioned by TSA and other law enforcement agencies as CNN stated at 1:25? Also, has anyone consider the possibilty that all that cash could be used to bribe an airport employee past the security checkpoint to do harm? I would like to hear the whole recording if possible, anyone know where to find it? I'm not saying good for TSA, by the way I think they're somewhat of a pointless government agency, but I would like to know more about this incident.

  • Give 'em hell! It's the only way to save our liberties and our country. They think they can run over people like a steamroller.

  • I think it's interesting that he was even questioned about the cash. Clearly it has no bearing whatsoever on flight safety, and the amount does not even meet the threshold for financial institutions' federal requirement to report, not that it's relevant.

    The question should never have been asked by the TSA agent in the first place.

    They have a responsibility to verify that there is no presence of items that threatens flight safety, and that is where their rights to invade our privacy end.

  • just got the email....this guy is awesome

  • The somewhat twisted irony is that he was stopped and harassed for carrying paper money... which happens to be printed by the fed unconstitutionally. Audit the fed and teach these airport guys that we have rights as citizens of the u.s.

  • ROCK ON STEVE!!!

    We the People need to continue standing up to these THUGS who are now running the Government at various levels, and do so by following Steve's example - with respect (even if they don't deserve it! 8-)

    DEMAND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT NOW!!!

    GiveMeLiberty (dot) org

  • Way to go Steve!

    When the Lamestream Media gives you this type of coverage, you know you have a bona fide case of governmental abuse of power.

    The members of the TSA that were involved in this incident should be made an example of and terminated! Period!

  • The Department of Homeland Terrorism is a threat to our freedoms. We need to get rid of this subversive entity.

    Who the hell are they to ask why someone is carrying $4700? It's none of their business. We don't need this type of abuse and intimidation. These people are trying to create a new Nazi or Communist state. Let's get rid on them!

  • If your constitutional rights are being violated by a government agency - We Have An App For That.

    WAKE_UP AMERICA!

  • Way to go steve ! If all Americans stood up for their rights like you just did we would have this facist regime of people in Washington thinking they are rulers instead of those who are there to SERVE and govern for WE THE PEOPLE.

  • I listened to the whole recording. The two clips here pretty much sum up the whole thing. Bierfeldt asked them about a dozen times what his rights are and if he has to answer them under law, and they never answered that. They were all assholes. Hopefully this becomes a big news story so something can be done for all the moronic "security" measures TSA takes. The whole nail clipper ban and limit on carry-on liquids are just a couple examples.

  • A lot of TSA employees are security guards who think they have power of life and death over you. They are arrogant and rude.

  • With society in the US obviously and eggregiously closing down on all possible fronts, lifetime citizens being forced to ask permission from the government to take a day trip into Canada or mexico, for instance, it's amazing to me that people are stil trying to get into the US these days.

    Legally or not, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that I'm planning in visiting a declining socio-fascist country any time soon...even if it is only an hour or so away!

    I might never get to LEAVE!

  • Finally the possibility of some justice. Thank you Steve.

  • Nice job, Bierfeldt!

    It's good publicity to have a C4L-organiser on CNN, especially discussing something so universally hated as the TSA harassers.

  • sounds like he was prepared for this.....

  • yup carry around your iphone and KNOW the constitution - it's not just for Constitutionalists anymore - It's for Democrats and Republicans if they CARE to remember it - WHICH GENERALLY THEY DON'T ... they only "care" about it when they are "out of power" when they are in POWER they steal our rights and abuse the LAW!

  • Please don't make this about race, because that has nothing to do with this.

  • Always remember, people that have "race issues" are 99.9% of the time...Racists. Stop perpetuating the issue!We need to ban together as a nation of humans with the single minded goal of atteining our Creator given "rights".Character has no color and color has no character.

    "Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves" William Pitt the Younger

  • WHOOOO HOOOO !! GO STEVE !! Your My Hero now !

  • Were behind you! This happened to many others in the past, and we finally have evidence!

  • Well done Steve!!

  • Fuck the TSA and the un-constitutional agencies that have been created since the Wilson Administration. And not let us forget all the scumbags that have be district court, appellate and of course the Assholes on the Supreme Court. Fuck them all.

  • Right on the entire DOJ needs to be replaced with people that love & respect the constitution, & not let these bureaucracies destroy it!

  • And "family courts," too. Technically unconstitutional.

    It's all about contracts. Always know what you're agreeing to.

  • Laws are huge in size to prevent the educated from understanding them before they get passed without being read.

    Laws are huge in number to make sure that if one criminal piece of lawyerese gets beaten, they can sneak it in somewhere else and get the same result.

    Contracts are "legally agreed to" the second you say ANYTHING to a cop, or any government agent or official...and just because most people don't understand that does not change the fact that it WILL be used against you.

    ALWAYS!

  • My child sprained her arm & my sister in law put some spray on it to numb it. The next day we went through an airport screening & my child "beeped" so they took us out of line. She took off anything that had metal on it, including some bracelets. She kept beeping so we told the screener that she had been sprayed with some numbing spray the day before. The screener got all suspicious, asking "What was in that spray?!?!" Finally the idiots let us go. What were they gonna do next? Cut open her arm?

  • This is SO TRUE!! --> posted by Luci332: This is what is wrong. We have unintelligent ghetto kids growing up ignorant of the real laws of this country and becoming security gaurds and police officers that truly believe that their allowed to do such things. this is simply more proof that government schooling creates retards. That is asuming it was publicly schooled . >

  • You got it! Apathy by those being crapped on by lawbreaking human crap and I'm not talking people standing up for their real rights I'm talking selfish greedy lazy idiots USING the ACLU as a shield of entitlements...

  • Buanand...EXACTLY!!!

  • Were you wearing a turban? Have you ever seen the TSA employment test? You only need a education of a fifth grader to join the TSA. They do not hire smart people.

  • Steve, you rock sir!

  • Ripping style, holmes!

  • Thanks for standing up for our rights and ur a true hero in the eyes of freedom lovers Steve!

  • Land of the Free... NOT

    The Nazis did the same thing to everyone(not just Jews or gypsies) Germany starting about 1936, then it kept getting worse We have to many people in uniforms in full blown roid rage

  • If there is no law against carrying a large sum of money on an airplane, what business did the TSA or any other agency have questioning him about it? A lot of good people died in uniform to protect us from being treated like this by our own government. What's happened to us?

  • h0peandchange...what happened???

    PROGRESSIVES.

  • Do you really think Obama started this?

  • Did I say a word about Obama?????????

  • No you said "progressives" and "hope and change". "Hope and Change" was Obama's thing during the campaigns, and he is a "progressive." You didn't say anything, you implied it.

  • Good coverage.

  • Best weapon a citizen today can carry is concealed video & audio equipment,, wanna bet that too becomes illegal.. Facists do not like their power challenged or taken away...

    Ron Paul in 2012...

  • Citizen? you mean terrorist?lol.

  • Next people need to start suits for this no fly list bull shit. When an old World War II vet gets searched because he name is on a black list there is a problem. But hey, maybe we should all become Nazi/Commi scum in the name of fighting "terrorism?" -"Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither."

  • Actually "we" need to stop supporting these idiots. We need to go in to work, change all of our W-4 forms to exempt and cut off the money suppy, next we need to boycott the airlines as well as everyone that got bailout money and watch what happens...their tune will change. Their agenda is not to help the citizen, it is a plan to gain as much power over the people as possible.

    "When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." T J

  • If another false-flag terrorist "event" is not carried out, we will win this fight. The Constitution will be restored and freedom will prevail. Thank you, Steve.

  • I hate flying...and the TSA! (they are bad for business)

  • i'm with ya God Bless!

  • wheres the common sense????????

  • oh , nice of cnn, who shit on ron paul during his pwning of the gop candidates during his quest for the nomination,now glorifying his supporters.who, by the way are gonna take this country back, town by town, city by city ,state by state. right under everyone's noses. a C4L member just got elected as a city official here,just east of east Los angeles.

  • yeah, are you talkin' about kwitcherbichen? he commented on here,too.

  • I love it. Ron Paul 2012. Good Job!

  • TSA and Homeland security are the terrorist.

  • Kudos. Thuggery of Obama's subordinates is not to be tolerated.

  • There are some good fights out there! Tax system oppression, Political ethics violations (Should be Treason), Discrimination (Separation OF church and State) and the multitude of legal constipation just get a name on a document! NOOOO! I don't need a law to force me to wipe my butt from front to back! I don't need to wage war on Nations that can't have their own revolution like we did! I can make them a smoking hole or embargo them if they mess with me though.

  • Way to go Steve! We definitely need to stand up for our rights and liberty - what's left of it. I think we are going to see more and more folks start standing up against the oppressors. None of their damn business why you were carrying cash.

  • Great to have the ACLU on our side (as they usually are only about half the time...)

    I am usually totally humiliated every time I have to go through a TSA search.

    If the airlines did it, then it would not be unconstitutional, but since the government is doing it, the Constitution applies, and they need probable cause and a warrant to search you.

    The TSA should be abolished, and airlines should be allowed to conduct these searches.

  • Careful which powers of Government you go after, some my look like one thing but actually another. If your Family was being held hostage by jihadists would you want a nice, nice person to plead with them or a rouge S.O.B ignoring orders from some bureaucratic kiss ass to go shoot them all before they cut your families head off on pub TV? Things are very different now from any time in recorded history. Jihad: "No negotiating, Against God if you balk, Kill them all or you too are an infidel."Nuts

  • Majic.... I think ya kinda have to get over the whole government fear mongering fight terrorism BS. There is simply no useful purpose for DHS or TSA. Unfortunately it is mind sets much like yours that allow this nonsense to continue. Considering you have volunteered for the Sheriff dept and DHS you are now at odds with a great percentage of fellow travelers. Maybe your on the wrong side ! BUT the NDE was enlightening and VERY interesting.

  • I'm just saying there are two sides to every story and What did this guy act like when TSA got interested? That's a human thing, and then Fear mongering? There is a lot to be afraid of. Not just terrorists that is true! But "Whom ever it is" Illuminati or "The Man" Someone IS using this time of turmoil to establish a Nazi like hold over our country and may others in a NWO thing? But there have been warnings of this for years! Apathy has lead us here not "The Man" Some of "The Man" is us!

    Thanks

  • Exactly what are the odds that you or any one of us is going to be put in this scenario? Slim to none, unless of course you go out of your way to put yourself in a situation likely to get you targeted. Foreigner, do not hate us per se...they hatew our governments foreign policies. If you want to change their feelings about us, then push for policy change and non-intervention in other nation's affairs. It's not our job to force our beliefs on other nations, nor is it our right to do so.

  • I think the pocket Constituion is what caught TSA's attention.

    I believe this airport was in Missouri right? That's the State that got into trouble for handing out memos to Law Enforcement to be on the look out for "Homeland Terrorist". Any Ron Paul supporters carrying copies of the Consitution.

    Can you imagine how George Washington would respond to something like this? "It's time for a Tea Part Gentlemen!!" -George Washington

  • Yeah, and Veterans like me are also "Domestic Terrorists".... I wish Homeland "Security" would do their frickin job... C4L Forever!!!

  • TSA vs. NKVD, not much difference. Another attempt to trample the Constitution into the ground. Thank God there are still patriots willing to stand up to the oppressors!!

  • By the way I do agree the TSA agent was an Adam Henry, But the attitude started on the other side and then the issue is just human to human.

  • I see your point. And it could be taken that way. I would'nt want to tick off a State Trooper at a road block.However,if I knew that I was legal, no DUI, or Speeding etc. I would get a little upset if the Trooper asked me to hand over my wallet. And then asked what I planned to do with my money.That's crossing the line. First,tell me if I've broken any laws. 2nd, read me my rights. And 3rd treat me with the same respect and tone of voice that a U.S. soldier has to when dealing with POWSs.

  • I don't believe in senseless lawsuits either...like, "Gee, there was no label warning that this paring knife could cut me; I sliced my finger while cutting apples--please give me three million dollars for pain and suffering." But a suit to arrest the unconstitutional power of the government is not frivolous; the courts of our country were designed not only to try criminals and mediate civil disputes but also to check the powers of government. Good luck, Steve! :)

  • And if he had a bomb in there? or bio weapon? To speed by, Just open the box!, they can swab for the rest but it takes some time. Im ALWAYS on the secondary inspection list. my DHS first responder ID help? "No". if they let This upstanding American go how does it look when they detain a Baby killing scum bag Arab Al Queda gentleman. Stop these chicken $hit no nation zealots I'm I'll wait the 15 extra minutes -search me. That's why I show up 2 hrs early. Lets fight the real fights not TSA.

  • You would probably the first in line to get on the train to the concentration camp gas chambers. Learn to question authority.

  • Actually, they forcibly opened the box and found that there was only cash inside. They had no cause to reasonably suspect Steve Bierfeldt of anything, other than a dubious "report" issued in Missouri (where he was detained) that lumped all Ron Paul supporters and other Constitutionalists into the "terrorist" category. Protecting us from Al Qaeda has feck all to do with detaining an American for carrying cash. To paraphrase Ben Franklin, what do you want--essential liberty or temporary security?

  • Steve for Homeland (IN)-Security chief!

  • Good job Steve! Even if it doesn't pan out in your favor, you have inspired many.

    CNN... maybe I'll have to watch you every once in a while, I didn't realize you covered things that mattered. Kudos to you as well.

  • You Go Steve,Hope You Squash Them!!

  • TSA Security is basically the equivelant of MALL Security... I don't believe in senseless law-suits and the waste of court time, BUT, obviously that TSA guy was a douche. Bravo to Steve for clamly and intelligently asking the kinds of questions we ALL as Americans should ask if put in that spot.

  • Good for you!

  • I have no use for the TSA.

  • Great job Steve, been wondering what you were going to do about this since I 1st heard about the incedent a couple of months ago.

  • Go Steve Go!

  • Good job. But TSA won't go down for this. They'll blame over zealous employees, who will be fired. And that will be the end of it.

  • he won't be fired.

    He already got his verbal "admonishment" of don't do that again and get recorded doing it.

    these alpha male LEO wannabes pat each other on the back for this kind of behaviour.

    Unfortunately this is minor league politcal theatre. Nothing will happen, just some paper shuffling and verbiage.

  • One of the really sorry aspects of this, it looks like they take "using the f-word" more seriously than invading someone's privacy.

  • Kinda like the news blew michael jackson over noth korea.

  • Everyone needs to have a pocket constitution and actually READ IT! NO man is above our creator who endowed us with rights!

  • Wow. Here we are, a nation which boasts to the world about how free we are. A nation which sends troops globe trotting fighting and dying defending freedom. Yet now we find it necessary to SUE ,OUR own govt, in order to force OUR govt to respect and honor our freedoms?

    Sure, makes perfect sense to me.

  • Do as we say, not as we do....hmmmm...sound familiar?

  • The TSA is a tyrannical organization which needs to be disbanded. The Authoritarian nature of this bureaucracy will NEVER be amended to respect the civil liberties and rights of Americans. As long as the TSA is allowed to survive the abuses of Americans will continue, unabated. And, as you have seen, the TSA "official" word was that it basically investigated itself and found itself innocent of any charge, and that it even had the right to continue these Fascist policies.

  • Good going Steve! You're behavior is an inspiration to everyone!

  • When "regular people" try to stand up for their rights, the media demonizes them as a nut. But let the ACLU get in on it & they suddenly find impartiality. It's like they are saying only the ACLU or the gov't knows what the people's rights are & that regular people are too stupid to know. The reason for "freedom of the press" is that "the press" is supposed to be the ally of people in defending our rights. Lately, you'd think they are working for the other side... or their own agenda.
