APL Launches Attack on TSA
Spread the word: Support this attack!
Anyone who has been made subject to more than one Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint lately knows that the rules for the unconstitutional searches and seizures imposed upon passengers change from airport to airport, and from day to day. These are not differences due to the airport being in different countries. On a given round trip, a passenger traveling solely within the borders of America will hear barked a set of directives at his origination airport that are often opposite the commands he receives when returning through his destination’s airport. For example, in Airport A, he’ll be demanded to have his photo taken, to remove his belt, to put his shoes in a bin, to put his carry-on directly on the conveyor, to leave his laptop in the bag, and to go through the metal detector. Then, when returning through Airport B, he’ll be asked to be photographed, told to leave his belt on, to put his shoes directly on the conveyor, to put his carry-on in a bin, to take his laptop out of the bag, and to go through the naked body scanner. In Airport A his bag containing nothing but clothes will be singled-out and searched as if he’s a known drug smuggler, which in Airport B his bag will sail right through the machine with no questions asked. In Airport A, the TSA will detain him and confiscate the tiny, factory sealed cups of apple sauce in his carry-on, while going through the checkpoint in Airport B will present no problem. Yet, if the federal rules are meant to be followed by passengers, why aren’t they clear, precise, and consistent across all airport checkpoints?
Those discrepancies mentioned above, and even larger variations, are due to the fact that the TSA rules, which were written before 9/11 and are found at 49 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter XII, are not intended for passengers. They were written to govern the actions of federal employees, federal contractors (such as all major airlines and airports), and people who willingly make themselves subject to those rules, whether or not due to intimidation. This can first be verified going to Title 49, Subtitle B,Chapter XII,Subchapter A, Part 1500- Applicability. There is says,
“This chapter, this subchapter, and this part apply to all matters regulated by the Transportation Security Administration.”
As with Title 26, the Federal Income Tax Code, the wording will deceive those who approach the reading assuming that the code applies to them. In this part, however, it states that the chapter applies to all matters, not all persons or all passengers. This should prompt the reader to investigate further.
Upon taking a deeper dive into the regulations with a keen eye for wording, the reader will discover that the text is written to federal employees, airlines, airports, contractors to the airlines and airports, and applies to those who desire to come under those regulations by contract.1 Therefore, the TSA goons can only look for instruction to their manuals2 and Administrative State training, which were revealed by DOGE and the Supreme Court to be intentionally structure to deceive in order to grab power, maintain a perception of judicial authority, and create job security. The TSA agents however, not being the most intelligent, honest, or capable beings that can be found, prefer to create their own rules on the fly rather than read the voluminous manuals. Thus the wide ranging discrepancies in how the unconstitutionally applied rules are forced upon innocent passengers in a Pre-Crime fashion.
APL To The Rescue
Thankfully, on May 7, 2025, U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) introduced the “American Privacy Restoration Act.” This historic legislation, if enacted, would fully repeal the USA PATRIOT Act (“Patriot Act”), which created the tyrannical Department of Homeland Security and its henchman, the Transportation Security Administration.
In Ron Paul fashion, APL is taking-on the giant gorilla that has robbed innocent people around the world of their privacy, security, dignity, and property.
This is probably our only chance in history to abolish DHS and the TSA, so please forward this article far and wide, and rally freedom-loving Americans to call their representatives urging passage of this bill.
