Homeland Security Christmas Warnings Will Justify Z Backscatter Van Use Further Killing 4th Amendment

Car bombs, trucks ramming crowds and a Mumbai-style small arms attack are the warnings the Federal Government is issuing for this year's holiday terrorist chaos fiasco. Taking a lesson from last year's Christmas underwear bomber, can I make a prediction.

Last Christmas, we had the underwear bomber try to light up his fruit of the looms in hopes of taking down a flight over Detroit. (By the way, judging from the way Detroit looks these days, would anyone have noticed if the flight crashed into the city?) Since then, there has been numerous reports that cite the underwear bomb was destined to be a failure from the start.

An independent study by CBC of Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab attempt to bring down the airplane showed:

The blast, if successful, would not have been powerful enough to penetrate the 5 mm thick aluminum alloy skin and the structural integrity of Northwest Airlines flight 253 would have remained in tact. The documentary also admitted even in laboratory conditions, the attempted detonation method of igniting the PETN by ways of a chemical reaction is difficult.

But look what came about after the Underwear Bomber. We got naked body scanners and the TSA putting their hands all over Americans' genitals all to pretend we are going to be safer while they kill the Fourth Amendment.

Now we get this warning of car bombs. Well, guess what, just like Homeland Security was needing justification for the naked body scanners, there is another piece of equipment they need justification for. Perhaps, the dummy bomb that became a weapon of mass destruction at Portland, Oregon's Christmas tree lighting combined with this warning and another pathetic attempt during the holidays may just be enough for the Department of Homeland Security to push their next liberty killing Big Brother piece of technology, the Z Backscatter X-ray vans.



Remember, the federal government has placed many orders for these vans this past year. It's been noted that when Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) tried to get information what the federal government was going to use these vans for, he was met with the runaround. He told Glenn Beck:

As a lawmaker on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, I’ve been trying to get the administration, I‘ve been trying to get the company to tell me who’s buying these vans? What are you doing with these vans? There are some legitimate uses. I mean, if you’re going to inspect cargo coming out of a port, I buy that. [...]

I want us to be as safe and secure as possible, but I’m not willing to give up every bit of liberty that I have. And I fundamentally at my core just don’t trust the federal government. They have been elusive — and I’m being generous — elusive in their answers to my questions. … They will not confirm whether they’re just using them at the ports or just overseas. …

Doesn't it seem like we are being set up to accept the next step in killing the Fourth Amendment with these dummy bombs and these latest Christmas terrorist alerts?
