Default The degeneration of personal rights and the air-travel experiencecontinues - TSA searches parked cars at airports

The rogue arm of the US federal gov't continues to assert it's will and
domination over US citizens and constitutional rights by now opening and
searching parked cars at airports.

As one of the sheeple says:

---- "she doesn't mind the security measure. She just wants to be
told if her car is getting searched."

(most sheeple are female, btw)

When your personal property starts disappearing from your car, we'll see
if people still like the idea.

As is typical of journalists who don't think about the stories they
write, the story does not mention that the reason why valet-parked cars
are being searched - IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE KEYS TO THE CAR!!!

TSA searches valet parked car

Rochester, N.Y. -- She says she had no warning that someone was going to
search her car after she left to catch her flight. So the woman
contacted News10NBC.

We found out it happened to her because she valet parked her car. Those
are the only cars that get inspected.

So if security feels it is necessary to search some cars in the name of
safety, why not search all of them?

Laurie Iacuzza walked to her waiting car at the Greater Rochester
International Airport after returning from a trip and that's when she
found it -- a notice saying her car was inspected after she left for her
flight. She said, “I was furious. They never mentioned it to me when I
booked the valet or when I picked up the car or when I dropped it off.”

Iacuzza's car was inspected by valet attendants on orders from the TSA.
But why only valet parked cars? That's what News10NBC wanted to ask the
TSA director about. We reached him by phone.

Berkeley Brean asked, “Are the cars in the short term lots and long term
lots getting searched as well?”

John McCaffery, TSA, said, “No, those vehicles that are in the garage,
short term long term parking, even if they carry pretty large amounts of
explosives, they would not cause damage to the front of the airport. But
for those who use the valet, the car could be there for a half hour or
an hour so there is a vulnerability.”

News10NBC went to the valet parking and one of the attendants showed us
the notice they put in the cars.

We asked, “You're required, they tell you, you have to search the car?”
Valet Parking Attendant Frank Dettorre said, “I have to do it.”

We also noticed a large sign that alerts customers that their vehicle
will be inspected. The sign is on the kiosk window. Iacuzza says it was
not there when she dropped off her car. “I think the public should be
aware of the fact that if their car is going to be searched, they should
be informed of it.”

Iacuzza said she doesn't mind the security measure. She just wants to be
told if her car is getting searched.

News10NBC asked the owner of the company that runs the valet parking
when they put up the sign but he wouldn't answer.

TSA says this is part of its overall security plan and that it's a
proactive move. The attendants said they've only been doing it for about
a month.
