Hoping to keep terrorists and others off-guard the TSA conducted a random security check of nearly 700 Bus passengers in Orlando Florida yesterday, using the agency’s Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response, or VIPR.
Bryce Williams wasn’t expecting to walk through a metal detector or have his bags screened for explosives at the Greyhound bus terminal near downtown Orlando.

As long as they are not afraid of offending Muslims by taking them aside for further scrutiny. I was in Las Vegas a couple of years ago, and two Muslim/Saudis were going through security. Ahead of them was a 80ish female. TSA took her aside to search her and the two muslims passed right through. I honestly cannot tell you when the last time an 80 year old woman blew up an airplane. The time for political correctness should be over.
People have got to realize we live in a time when a group of evil people are out to hurt us. It baffles my mind that citizens are so offended when law enforcement put in place security measures to increase law enforcement presence at transportation facilities. The same bleeding hearts that protest the actions of our police officers will be the same sheep that cry when the police did not do enough to keep something from happening after a near miss or worse yet an explosion that kills people.
Get real people, we cannot continue to hide in a shell.
