What is it we've been stating about the 'fear mongering' - and using that FEAR to confiscate, abrogate, and castrate the United States Constitution (esp. re my brief analysis a few days ago taking issue with that congressman's speech, about WHY our freedoms are disappearing.)

The War on Drugs was a MAJOR ASSAULT on the Constitution.

Another HUGE ASSAULT on the Constitution were the UN-CONSTITUTIONAL SEARCHES IMPLEMENTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT at airports under the guise of 'preventing airline hijacking'. Note that this not only violates the very explicit requirements for Search Warrants - but ALSO is a direct assault on the First Amendment Freedom of Assembly guaranty.

I wasn't sure about precisely when these started, but DID have a pretty firm suspicion - and Due's post about RMN and the War on Drugs 'made me look'.

Hyup - You guessed it.

History ala wikipedia ....
United States
Airport security stations at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport.
US security layers.

Prior to the 1970s American airports had minimal security arrangements to prevent aircraft hijackings. Measures were introduced starting in the late 1960s after several high-profile hijackings.

Sky marshals were introduced in 1970, but there were insufficient numbers to protect every flight and hijackings continued to take place. Consequently in late 1972, the Federal Aviation Administration required that all airlines begin screening passengers and their carry-on baggage by January 5, 1973. This screening was generally contracted to private security companies. Private companies would bid on these contracts. The airline that had operational control of the departure concourse controlled by a given checkpoint would hold that contract. Although an airline would control the operation of a checkpoint, oversight authority was held by the FAA. C.F.R. Title 14 restrictions did not permit a relevant airport authority to exercise any oversight over checkpoint operations.

Just a coincidence, RIGHT ?

My eye.

Oh yeah ... RMN's terms in office - elected Nov, 1968 - so served 1969 to 1974 when he resigned in ignominy.

Tricky Dicky also brought us the now-40-year-old failed War on Drugs.

New FBI Numbers Reveal Failure Of “War On Drugs”: One Drug Arrest Every 19 Seconds In The U.S.
By Mark Perry

WASHINGTON, D.C. — “A new FBI report released today shows that there is a drug arrest every 19 seconds in the U.S. A group of police and judges who have been campaigning to legalize and regulate drugs pointed to the figures showing more than 1.6 million drug arrests in 2010 as evidence that the “war on drugs” is a failure that can never be won.

“Since the declaration of the “War on Drugs” 40 years ago we’ve arrested tens of millions of people in an effort to reduce drug use. The fact that cops had to spend time arresting another 1.6 million of our fellow citizens last year shows that it simply hasn’t worked. In the current economy we simply cannot afford to keep arresting three people every minute in the failed ‘war on drugs,’” said Neill Franklin, a retired Baltimore narcotics cop who now heads the group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition ( http://www.copssaylegalizedrugs.com/ ). “If we legalized and taxed drugs, we could not only create new revenue in addition to the money we’d save from ending the cruel policy of arresting users, but we’d make society safer by bankrupting the cartels and gangs who control the currently illegal marketplace.”

Today’s FBI report ( http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010 ) shows that 81.9 percent of all drug arrests in 2010 were for possession only, and 45.8 percent of all drug arrests were for possession of marijuana.”
