I think the two comments above yours are poking fun at the guy who is committing a felony by lying to federal agents. They're just making it obvious what he's doing is really shitty, anti-social behavior.

You are grossly misinformed and making an assumption.

You're thinking of being interviewed by a Federal agent. At no point are you being interviewed at a TSA checkpoint. Generally, they have two agents present for that so they can act as witnesses for each other. The FBI specifically uses the 302 for such an interview. Can you cite the relavant US Code here? I can.

Further, you're assuming I'm lying.

As someone who was present (in the room) as DHS was being formed and witnessed the negotiations around the TSA, the "really shitty, anti-social behavior" is sharing misinformation.

Lying to TSA and other government representatives is patriotic

  • Exactly. It gets you your freedom back, enables you to what you need to, and undercuts the illegitimate governments authority - all in one!

    A major win for the people.

  • This is a scam that the GOP has convinced many of, that taking from the government commons is the right thing to do. But the GOP is the embodiment of a low trust society. I'd rather live in a high trust society.

      You should look around carefully and see who is actively defending government fraud right now.

      If you're honest, you may be shocked.

    • I'd also rather live in a high trust society, but that's impossible with the government that we have (and it's not just Trump, although he has certainly turned our slow creep towards authoritarianism into a speedrun).
