Apparently now just crossing the border into the US means the Border Patrol gets to sodomize you.  A woman has filed suit against the CMP after being subjected to six hours of repeated cavity searches and forced bowel movements, all because a drug dog lunged at her.  Please note that they didn’t find any drugs.  At all.

Over the course of the next six hours, Defendants subjected Ms. Doe to a series of highly invasive searches, any one of which would have been humiliating and demeaning. First, government agents stripped searched [sic] Ms. Doe and made a visual and manual inspection of her genitals and anus. Finding nothing, Defendants next subjected her to an observed bowel movement. When that procedure yielded no evidence of drugs, Defendants X-rayed Ms. Doe. Having found nothing, Defendants next shackled Ms. Doe to an examining table and inserted a speculum into her vagina, performed a rectal exam on her, and conducted a bimanual cavity search of her vagina. Still not satisfied, Defendants subjected Ms. Doe to a CT scan and again found no evidence of drugs.

To add insult to injury, Jane Doe then received a bill of $5,000 for the “services” rendered.  Because somebody has to pay for all this.  I’d like to take it out of the rectal cavity of the people who did this, but I digress.

Are you not angry?  Does it not matter that this is going on?  Why do we permit it?  We drive through checkpoints and dutifully answer questions like sheep instead of calling them out on their unconstitutional and ridiculous crap, like they even have a right to ask us anything.  “Where are you going?  Where are you coming from?”  A place called Noneyabiz, that’s where.  But it’s not just checkpoints and border patrols.  It’s everywhere. We stand like zombies in lines at airport security, barefoot and vulnerable, holding our pants up like fools because our belt is in the bin.  If a terrorist or other bad-type person were really interested in killing a large number of people, one of the prime places to do it would be airport security.  Who’s going to stop him?  The TSA morons who are doing some sexual assault of their own?  Or the hordes of people standing there with no shoes and a ziploc bag of shampoo and mouthwash?

By the way, why do you think the federal agencies have become so preoccupied with checkpoints and cavity searches and fondling and outright sexual assault of American citizens?  Simple.  It’s degrading.  It’s humiliating and awful.  You put up with it so it gets over with sooner.  It teaches you that you are not in control, that they can do what they want to you and you will take it.  It’s psychological and calculated.  We will control you, and we will violate you at will, and you will do nothing.  You will accept it.

And we do.  We would rather just let them humiliate and violate us than miss our flight.  We would rather just get it over with than risk ‘getting in trouble’ for standing up for ourselves.  We would rather not cause a scene.  In short, we are this mess because we didn’t have the balls to stand up against it then, and we don’t have the balls to do it now.  Not collectively, anyway.  There are those who do it, and God bless them.  What about the rest of you?  In the long term, what’s more important?  That you get to Disney or Maui or Europe?  Or that when you return, you’re still free?

What if one day, for a full 24 hour period, every passenger at JFK or LAX refused to be touched or scanned by TSA?  Every single one of them.  What if every plane that took off from those two airports were empty because people refused to subject themselves to the BS “security measures” in place?  What if millions of us just refused to fly at all?  What if we refused to even deal with checkpoints?  What if we called law enforcement out on the unconstitutionality of them?

What if we all just said no?
