Former Governor Jesse Ventura: ‘We’re a fascist nation now’
• http://www.prisonplanet.com/Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura lambasted Friday at a federal court hearing ”un-American” security procedures implemented at airports across the nation in 2010.
He filed a lawsuit with the Transportation Security Administration in January, claiming their use of pat down searches at airport security checkpoints is unconstitutional. Pioneer Press reported that a lawyer for Ventura argued in federal court that the searches violate his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable and unwarranted searches.
The Justice Department has filed a motion to have the lawsuit dismissed, claiming that the searches are legal and that they can only be challenged in a federal appeals court.
