Remember when the left continually griped that average people’s rights were being trampled nationwide under George W. Bush, but they could never document any instances? Well, now we have one, but you probably won’t hear much about it in the legacy media:
Two bloggers received home visits from Transportation Security Administration agents Tuesday after they published a new TSA directive that revises screening procedures and puts new restrictions on passengers in the wake of a recent bombing attempt by the so-called underwear bomber.
Special agents from the TSA’s Office of Inspection interrogated two U.S. bloggers, one of them an established travel columnist, and served them each with a civil subpoena demanding information on the anonymous source that provided the TSA document.
One former federal prosecutor makes an excellent point:
“To go into this one reporter’s house and copy his computer files and threaten him, it strikes me that they’re more aggressive with this reporter than with the guy who got on this flight.”
That’s sort of been the Obama approach: wage war on critics, not terrorists.
