The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is using portable full-body scanners to screen the nearly six million passengers riding on the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s buses and trains.
The LA Metro Transportation Authority invited the TSA to come to the City of Angels, subjecting millions to that agency’s unquestionably uncouth and unconstitutional searching and screening practices.
On August 14, the Los Angeles Times reported (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-metro-body-scanners-20180814-story.html) on this pernicious partnership: “Later this year, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will deploy several portable scanners that can be moved to any of the system’s 93 subway and light-rail stations. The devices will be used in response to terrorism threats, or to scan large crowds at a station near a protest or a sporting event, officials said.”
The portable scanners, manufactured by Thruvision, are capable of subjecting “more than 2,000 people an hour” to the invasive process, according to a quote from Metro spokesman Dave Sotero included in the LA Times report.
