Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee unveiled the program, labeled Bus Safe, during a press conference on Friday. According to a Metropolitan Transit Authority of Houston (METRO) press release, agencies involved in the scheme will, “ride buses, perform random bag checks, and conduct K-9 sweeps, as well as place uniformed and plainclothes officers at Transit Centers and rail platforms to detect, prevent and address latent criminal activity or behavior.”
“While local law enforcement agencies focus on overall safety measures noted above, representatives with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will also be on hand, lending their counter-terrorism expertise and support during the exercise,” states the press release.
“If you think you’re going to be a bad actor on buses, get ready. You are going to have a short-lived time frame,” Jackson Lee said during the press conference. The Congresswoman is a staunch advocate of the TSA, having recently chastised the passage of a new law that allows airports to evict TSA agents and replace them with private screeners by claiming it would lead to a new 9/11-style attack.
I must have missed the news about buses being used as part of a terrorist plot, which is now prompting all of this foolishness with TSA agents riding & searching buses.
Not to worry, Bo. I’m sure that one will be staged if it is thought to be necessary. This is sort of like the Fast and Furious scam wherein honest gun owners would be blamed for the violence caused by the feds selling automatic weapons to known criminals. We could not make this junk up, it’s just too bizarre for that.

Just another way to get MO BLACKS on the federal (taxpayer) payroll! I think to many blacks are already on the taxpayer payroll.
