Patriot,

It's been over two decades since the creation of the bloated
Transportation "Security" Administration (TSA).

Today the agency employs more than 50,000 personnel and wastes
more than $7 billion annually on what amounts to nothing more
than security theater.

Repeated internal testing of TSA's screening procedures have
shown the systems have up to a whopping 95 percent failure rate
to detect weapons and explosives.

And now, the TSA isn't just groping hapless American passengers
at their checkpoints: they're using facial recognition technology
and artificial intelligence to identify you and decide whether
you're too much of a "risk" to "allow" to travel.

In December, the TSA, an agency within Biden's Department of
Homeland Security, acknowledged it has significantly expanded
facial recognition technology at security checkpoints in airports
across the United States.

Under the expanded program, 16 of the nation's largest airports
are now using face scans as a way to verify the identities of
travelers, including in Atlanta, Boston, Denver, and Los Angeles.
The TSA's initial test facial recognition program started under
the Trump administration in 2017.

If the new program is deemed successful, TSA plans to expand
facial recognition at airports nationwide, making it one of the
largest efforts to collect advanced biometric data of law-abiding
citizens in U.S. history.

The TSA has yet to provide data on the accuracy of the facial
scans, yet they are expanding the program.

And the situation is eerily similar to the IRS's push last tax
season to require facial recognition scans for Americans to
access their tax returns. This was met with fierce backlash over
privacy concerns and ultimately scrapped. One of the many
worries over the tax collector's program was data breaches, and
the TSA already had its facial data breached in 2019.

If you and I push back against the government, they will back
down!

But worse, these systems can be used to conduct general
suspicion-less surveillance of law-abiding Americans that could
easily be tied into the government's other databases or watch
lists and lead to the targeted harassment of passengers who
frequently opt-out or stand up for their Fourth Amendment rights
in our airports.

Just two months ago, a Georgia man was arrested on a fugitive
warrant for luxury purse thefts in Louisiana. He was arrested
through the use of facial recognition technology. Never mind the
accused had never been to Louisiana in his life. He spent nearly
a week in jail before the government realized their error.

And now the TSA wants to use this same technology to screen
travelers.

Patriot, I warned at the creation of the TSA over 20 years ago
that an unaccountable government entity in control of airport
security would provide neither security nor defend our basic
freedom to travel.

Sadly, as we've seen with the steady TSA encroachment on our
freedom and dignity, my fears in 2001 were justified.

But now that Republicans are in the House majority, and they have
agreed to major changes in the rules - including dividing the
budget into 12 separate bills, opening up the process for
amendments, and putting a spotlight on government abuses of power
- the time is ripe to DEMAND they not only defund the IRS, but
the TSA as well.

Why do we put up with it? Why don't the American people stand up
and fight back?

Are we cattle - simply relying on the government to make us safe
and secure?

When will we stand up and say, "Enough is enough!"?

We have to wake up and say, "We've had it!"

How many Americans will be stripped of their dignity and
subjected to the invasive and dehumanizing screening procedures?

We know what happens in totalitarian countries like China, where
facial recognition and AI are used to spy on and profile all of
their citizens, complete with a "social credit score" that is
used to strip troublemakers of their basic rights.

Airports are the Deep State's test environment for these
technologies here in America.

Now that we have a new majority and new rules in the House, it's
time to DEMAND our lawmakers defund the TSA.

Patriot, I'm grateful that Campaign for Liberty has the support
of good folks like you and hope you know it means the world
having folks like you standing alongside us to fight to restore
lost freedoms and defend the freedoms we have left.

This past week has seen greater procedural victories in the House
than we've had in many years.

Now it's time to demand they follow through on policy.

And the TSA is a great place to start.

Patriot, when it comes down to it, since 9/11, alert passengers
and crew that have kept each other safe from attempted terrorist
attacks in the air - not a bloated, ineffective, and invasive
government bureaucracy.

This year should mark the first year we begin to keep our fellow
passengers safe from the Transportation Security Administration.

Are you with me?

We have a tremendous opportunity with this new House to press a
bold agenda, one that will get bills, hearings, and most
importantly, roll call votes.

But to do so will take organized pressure. Campaign for Liberty
is prepared to bring this to bear, but with more support, the
more irons we can put in the fire.

So please sign your petition, telling Congress to defund the TSA.
And then, please make a generous contribution as well to keep us
in the fight!

For liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. For too long the American people have been stripped of their
dignity and subjected to invasive and dehumanizing screening
procedures at the hands of the Transportation Security
Administration.

Now we have an opportunity to fight back and hold aggressive
screeners accountable for their actions - and in the process
expose the TSA's failed policies for all to see.
