TSA Bars Bruce Schneier from Giving Testimony on Full Body Scanners

Maybe he should go on the Kim Hill show instead.

Via: Register:

Security expert Bruce Schneier was been banned at the last minute from testifying in front of congress on the efficacy – or otherwise – of the US Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) much-maligned perv scanners.

Schneier is a long-time critic of the TSA’s policies for screening travelers, and was formally invited to appear before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure hearings. However, the TSA objected to his presence because he is currently involved in a legal case over the use of said scanners in US airports.

“I was looking forward to sitting next to a TSA person and challenging some of their statements. That would have been interesting,” Schneier told The Register. “The request to appear came from the committee itself, because they’d been reading my stuff on this and thought it would be interesting.”

    Nobody would of worked in any of the highrise office towers if a security charade had not been put in place.

    If a copycat had of hit another building within the first 90 days following 9-11, nobody would report to work in the morning.

    People did not need to feel safe to fly …. they needed to feel safe on the 60th floor of a highrise. Business would of been bankrupt overnight had nobody turned up to work.

    If we are thinking of real security measures, every action should of been taken to secure every chemical plant and every mile of railway in North America.

    Just attacking a tanker car filled with clorine would easily wipe out everything for 20 miles.

    That is why I’m completely convinced that all these anti-terror laws are being introduced because of the collapsing U.S. empire and to get all the ducks in order before there is Occupy Everywhere.

    The futurists within the Ruling Class decided to abandon the North American Continent in 1980 because they had no intention of honoring all the promises made to the Working Class since the end of World War II.

    In 1980, it was Free Trade which allowed the money lenders to move their assets, wealth and dynasties offshore and away from lawsuits and seizures from disgruntled employees in lieu of broken promies.

    10 Thousand Americans per day, aged 65, are signing up every day to collect the 20 thousand a year promised to them by the money lenders

    The Cookie Jar is empty.
