Liars and Fools

Today's Liars and Fools ...
You guessed it's Faux News.
Check out this moron.

This is a recording of Steve Bierfeldt, a US citizen who tried to board a domestic airplane while carrying $4700 in cash, and was detained by the TSA and subjected to abusive language and threats when he said that he would only answer the TSA's inquiries ("Where do you work?" "Why are you carrying cash?") if he was required to by law.

The TSA agents threatened to turn him over to the DEA.

He was returning from a Ron Paul event in St Louis, MO, having worked for the campaign.

The cash was from sales of t-shirts and stickers at the event.

The transport cops in the audio recording of his interrogation actually tell him if he's not guilty he has nothing to fear.

So, exactly what security threat does cash pose to an airplane?

Now, wait for it ...

Here comes the clueless commenter chiming in who opines, "Well what did he expect when he told the law enforcement person that he expected to be informed of his rights and legal obligations before he would answer his questions?"

You mean our constitutional liberties are only there to be admired, not exercised, right?!

Everyone, let's countdown, 2, 1, ... 'you fu(king moron!'
