    A man who was traveling home following a Campaign For Liberty (Ron Paul) event was detained and harassed by TSA in St. Louis for carrying cash.  Yup, for the intolerable offense of carrying currency you too can be held in police custody.  Federal tyranny grows on the back of locals who have an ego, and a desire for power over others, completely oblivious to their role to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

    They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. (Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759)

    This is a stunning abuse of power by those ENTRUSTED to protect Americans while traveling. Hopefully those agents involved are reprimanded.

    The questions!  So much harassment!  Asking his name (on a license and airline ticket he's given) about the money is such an abuse of power.

    "Campaign donations" or "proceeds from book sales" would have been too incriminating, indeed!

    Only the Federal State could see libertarian groups as being "terrorists." Dramatically reducing the size of the Federal Government? Eliminating it? That's the stuff of nightmares for a Statist.
