I was not aware of this. Can you provide an example of what the TSA considered prohibited speech?
Just so I'm clear on this... this guy had explosives stuffed up his ass? Just to be clear...
What a way to collect your 72 virgins...
Well, the bomb went off, so...it's kinda hard to tell whether that train left from a northern or southern station.
The ACLU sued the TSA (and won) on behalf of Raed Jarrar, an Iraqi born political activist and blogger who was detained and interrogated for wearing a T shirt that read "We will not be silent" in English and Arabic. We also sued (pending) in favor of Nick George, whose free speech rights were violated when he was handcuffed and abusively interrogated for 5 hours for having some Arabic flash cards in his pocket.
Limitations on political speech require 'strict scrutiny', the highest level of constitutional protection.
Thanks, Pat. I had not heard of those cases until listening to your program last night. Didn't know you could be denied your flight and interrogated for wearing a T-shirt or learning another language.
Now this guy with the gut bomb (or ass bomb, depending upon from which station that train left), that's a new twist...
Shoes, underwear... I guess they were just working their way up...
