California Mayor
Forced to Hand Over Electronics and Passwords at Airport – Compares U.S. to
Nazi Germany
“I think the American
people should be extremely concerned about their personal
rights and privacy.
As I was being searched at the airport, there was a Latino couple
to my left, and an
Asian couple to my right also being aggressively searched.
I briefly had to
remind myself that this was not North Korea or Nazi Germany.
This is the land of
the Free.
– Anthony
Silva, Mayor of Stockton, California
Just in case you’re
still under the infantile illusion that you reside in a free country.
From ArsTechnica:
Stockton, California
Mayor Anthony R. Silva attended a recent mayor’s conference in China, but his
return trip took a bit longer than usual. At the San Francisco International
Airport (SFO) this week, agents with the
Department of Homeland Security detained Silva and confiscated his personal
cell phone among other electronics. According to comments from the mayor, that
may not even be the most alarming part.
“Unfortunately, they
were not willing or able to produce a search warrant or any court documents
suggesting they had a legal right to take my property,” Silva told SFGate. “In addition, they
were persistent about requiring my passwords for all devices.”
The mayor’s attorney,
Mark Reichel, told SFGate that Silva was not allowed to leave the airport
without forfeiting his passwords. Reichel was not present for Silva’s
interaction with the DHS agents, either. The mayor was told he had “no right
for a lawyer to be present” and that being a US citizen did not “entitle me to
rights that I probably thought,” according to the paper.
Evidently, Silva was
well aware of the situation and only had his concerns heightened by first-hand
experience. Talking to SFGate, he briefly compared the government battle on
privacy to notorious dictatorships worldwide.
“I think the American
people should be extremely concerned about their personal rights and privacy,”
Silva told the paper. “As I was being searched at the airport, there was a
Latino couple to my left, and an Asian couple to my right also being
aggressively searched. I briefly had to remind myself that this was not North
Korea or Nazi Germany. This is the land of the Free.”
This is not what
freedom looks like.
Of course, I’ve
written a lot on the dangers of the Department of Homeland Security over the
years. Fears which are coming home to roost in spades. See:

Your country has been gone for a very long time people. Know this, being a citizen ain't all it's cracked up to be. Next time one of these pedophiles asks, say I'm first name, middle name, of the family_________ born in the city of_______and state of_______. Any state or federal id's or any contracts, licensing save your rights. It's all ya got people, it's all ya got! How hard is it to write all rights reserved under your signature? If they say you can't do that, then turn 180 degrees and walk away. You know what they are at that point.
