Arrested by Airport TSA for Reading the U.S. Constitution!
A California doctor (and retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel) was arrested yesterday in New Mexico by TSA and airport police for the crime of reading the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution aloud as she passed through the TSA security checkpoint.

11. There is some good evidence that the constitution is now viewed as subversive by police
There are videos of law enforcement being instructed to see that possession of a copy of the constitution is to be seen as evidence of the holder being a threatening element.
