The TSA is now training armed officers
In March of this year, I reported how the TSA wants to arm an unknown quantity of personnel.
The NY Times reported the union that represents the TSA renewed its push for armed agents at checkpoints of the nation's airports. Using a violent attack by a machete-wielding taxi driver in New Orleans as an excuse.
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGA) represents 45,000 TSA officers nationwide. But the AFGE doesn't want all TSA agents armed, but rather a special law enforcement unit administered by the TSA. How many armed TSA agents do you think they want 10,000, 15,000 maybe 25,000?
We need more police in America don't we?
It's hard to put a precise number on America's private police but it would be fair to say that there's over 1.5 MILLION and growing.
America has almost ONE MILLION police officers, this doesn't include private police or security guards, which is larger than the 1.5 MILLION by most estimates. Private security guards have outnumbered police officers since the 1980s. The more than 1 million contract security officers, and guards work directly for U.S. corporations.
That means there's over 2.5 MILLION POLICE in the US with no signs of stopping!
