Feds Radiating Americans at Roadside Checkpoints

http://infowar.co/featured/feds-radiating-americans-at-roadside-checkpoints/

Federal authorities do not concern themselves about the flood of illegal immigrants and drugs crossing the border every day, they're more worried about radiating American truck drivers at internal checkpoints with mobile scanners that shoot dangerous x-rays through both vehicles and passengers.

As we reported last month, the federal government has acquired hundreds of backscatter x-ray scanners mounted in vans that they are now using to randomly scan vehicles, passengers and homes in complete violation of the 4th amendment and with wanton disregard for any health consequences.

An example of their expanding use was reported by WSBTV yesterday, after federal agents from several agencies, including Homeland Security, the Department of Transportation, and the TSA, set up an internal checkpoint on Interstate 20 just west of Atlanta and detained truck drivers for half an hour or more at a "state-owned inspection station" while they were scanned with a bomb detection device.

Officials admitted there was no specific threat that justified the checkpoint, and although it was labeled a "counter-terror operation," the scans were also being conducted in the name of "safety".

R sellout govt works 4 banksters n corporations.They did 911 and yet they take away r rights. They wrote the traitorous "patriot act" before 911, just waiting 4 their chance 2 get it passed.It was passed without time 4 anyone 2 read it.These puppet politicians r traitors. Ben Franklin said "if you give up liberty for security, you lose both." The founders knew tyranny, coming from England n looking at history. That is why they wrote the constitution 2 keep govt from tyranny. Youtube RON PAUL!

now at a traffic stop you can be scanned before the officer leaves their vehicle. just more invasive measures under the guise of reasonable procedure.
