TSA Conducts Operation at West Palm Beach Tri-Rail Station

April 21, 2011

WPTV - Hoping to keep terrorists and others off-guard, Transportation Security Administration conducted what it calls a random "Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response Operation" on Thursday morning at the West Palm Beach Tri-Rail station.

TSA spokesperson Sari Koshetz said that response, known as VIPR, is a highly-visible operation to help detect and deter any suspicious or dangerous activity in various modes of transportation.

The TSA VIPR teams are designed to enhance security by working in mass transit, aviation, rail, maritime and other transportation modes alongside state and local law enforcement agencies during major events or as a random deterrent.

TSA has partnered with local law enforcement to conduct thousands of VIPR missions from coast to coast across the U.S.

There is no credible information to suggest a specific threat at this time.

TSA VIPR Squads Roam Florida Train Stations

April 22, 2011

Infowars.com - Squads of TSA agents conducted random searches and patrols at a train station in West Palm Beach, Florida yesterday in yet another example of the expansion of TSA Tyranny beyond the nation’s airports.

“Hoping to keep terrorists and others off-guard, Transportation Security Administration conducted what it calls a random ‘Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response Operation’ on Thursday morning at the West Palm Beach Tri-Rail station,” reports WPTV news.

As we have documented, VIPR teams are now occupying America in the name of “security,” having expanded from airports, to train stations, highways and street corners.

The TSA was recently caught in yet another act of deception after claiming that passengers, including young children, who were subjected to an invasive pat down and bag search after getting off an Amtrak train in Savannah, Georgia, did not have to enter the station, when in fact, according to a firefighter on the scene, TSA agents swarmed the platform — as soon as passengers stepped off the train — and ordered them to cooperate.

VIPR is quite obviously a 21st century Gestapo designed to indoctrinate Americans into accepting Soviet-style shake-downs, bag searches and groping of genitalia at checkpoints across the country — not just in airports.

If people think they can avoid the TSA by staying away from airports, they’re going to be in for a rude awakening. TSA is clearly engaged in a total takeover of society and plans to have its agents searching, patting down, scanning and harassing Americans at all levels of society.
