In seasons past, Grandma only had to worry about getting run over by a reindeer. With "Grandma Got Run Over by TSA," web sensation Remy gets us in the holiday mood with a song about Christmas, Homeland Security, and the joys of civil rights abuses.
"Grandma Got Run Over by TSA" is one of a series of collaborations between Remy and Reason.tv. To watch Remy's other videos, go to http:youtube.com/goremy
Approximately 2:25 minutes. Music by Remy. Video shot and produced by Meredith Bragg.

Lyrics:
Grandma got indefinitely detained now
coming home to visit Christmas Eve
You could say she had a right to counsel
but some folks in the Congress disagree
she was flying home to our house
when she got checked by TSA
thought she might be Abdulmutallab
when they looked at her X-ray
Her hair had recently been colored
she paid cash for her Christmas gifts
two things apparently the Congress
says just might make you a terrorist
Grandma got indefinitely detained now
coming home to visit Christmas Eve
you could claim there's no right to due process
but check the 5th amendment and you'll see
they say they need to have these powers
to help protect this free country
but if it takes these steps to do so
what is it we are protecting?
Now she's an enemy combatant
as if that makes any sense
the only thing that she's combating
is her unpredictable incontinence
Grandma got indefinitely detained now
trying to come visit Christmas Eve
they took her rights in order to...protect rights..
the most genius plan ever in history
Grandma got indefinitely detained now
never made it home on Christmas day
she always wanted to live in Miami
at least now she's 90 miles away

NDAA: "...the power to detain, via the Armed Forces, any person (including U.S. citizens[21]) "who was part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners", and anyone who commits a "belligerent act" against the U.S. or its coalition allies in aid of such enemy forces, under the law of war, "without trial, until the end of the hostilities authorized by the [AUMF]."

The MCA of 2006 set up a tribunal system. Either the President or the DoD can declare virtually anyone a "terrorist". Once that happens, you are an "enemy combatant", & you lose ALL rights. And ANY federal force can hunt you down, indefinitely detain you, & even kill you. The NDAA expanded the war of terror to within the borders of the US. So, have to correct you on that. Once the Pres or the DoD says you're a baddie, it's over. Welcome to the USSA.
