TSA To Look Like Police

TSA's new policelike badges a sore point with real cops: source

"WASHINGTON — Screeners at the nation's airport checkpoints are going to start wearing police-style badges — but real officers aren't too happy about it."

"The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is starting to equip its 48,000 screeners with 3-inch-by-2-inch, silver-colored, copper and zinc badges that will be worn on new royal-blue police-style shirts."

""We coupled the badges with the communications training to make it clear to our officers that they're there to facilitate our passengers," Rossides said. She said the TSA has no interest in giving screeners law-enforcement power."

Police-style badges, and police-style shirts

...but according to the 'official' explanation they have no intention of giving the TSA-er's (tasers?) "law enforcement power": 'Really, we're just playing dress up....'

Two steps forward, one step back. The intimidation factor of the police state advances, conditioning homelanders for the next phase, whatever that may be.
It is important to understand that before the new order can rise, the old order must be destroyed. This is now happening in every arena, and the pace is accelerating at what has to be considered an alarming rate.
The new order? It's a done deal people -- is the harsh reality that must be faced.
