Woman arrested at ABIA after refusing enhanced pat down
Hirschkind said because of the device in her body, she was led to a female TSA employee and three Austin police officers. She says she was told she was going to be patted down.
"I turned to the police officer and said, 'I have given no due cause to give up my constitutional rights. You can wand me,'" and they said, 'No, you have to do this,'" she said.
Hirschkind agreed to the pat down, but on one condition.
"I told them, 'No, I'm not going to have my breasts felt,' and she said, 'Yes, you are,'" said Hirschkind.
When Hirschkind refused, she says that "the police actually pushed me to the floor, (and) handcuffed me. I was crying by then. They drug me 25 yards across the floor in front of the whole security."...

SPRINGFIELD — Effingham County sheriff deputies have reported the early Sunday morning arrest of three men to the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force.
The men, two from Russia and one from Kazakhstan, were found near Georgia Power’s Plant McIntosh on Old Augusta Road about 1 a.m. Sunday after a ranger with the Department of Natural Resources reported a suspicious vehicle, Effingham County sheriff’s spokesman David Ehsanipoor said.
Deputies reported the men, who were inside a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder, had a machete, shovel, wire cutters and ski masks. One man also had black silk stockings in his front left pocket.
Arrested were Evgeniy Luzhetskiy, of Kazakhastan Nail Idiatullin and Rustem Ibragimov of Russia. All three reported they lived in Charleston, S.C., deputies reported.
The men were all charged with possession of tools during the commission of a crime.
The three were released after being interviewed by task force members, Ehsanipoor said.
"They did all have visas that allowed them to be here and are supposed to be leaving the country soon."

Court Mixed on Constitutionality of Taking DNA From Arrestees
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court provided no clear indication Tuesday whether it would uphold a voter-approved measure requiring California authorities to take a DNA sample from every adult arrested on felony accusations.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments for about an hour, in a civil rights lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union aimed at striking down the law. The ACLU argued that DNA sampling of arrestees was an unconstitutional search and privacy breach. A lower court had refused to stop the program that has resulted in California securing a DNA database of 1.5 million people.
At least 21 states have regulations requiring suspects to give a DNA sample upon an arrest. President Barack Obama supports taking DNA when a suspect is arrested.
Judge Mylan Smith suggested he saw no difference between DNA sampling and fingerprinting, the latter of which is a staple booking practice across the United States.
“This is really a good way of identifying people. Basically, what you’re saying we have to be Luddites, that we can’t use modern technology because it’s too good?” he asked ACLU attorney Michael Risher.
“Sure, we would solve more and more crimes if we got more samples,” Risher replied. But “there has to be a line. A single arrest by a police officer is never sufficient.”
Risher added, “Our fingerprints tell nothing about us. Our DNA can tell a huge amount about us.”
William Fletcher, the only other judge to engage in the discussion, seemed troubled that the DNA was kept in a database even if the subject was acquitted, or never charged. About 100,000 persons arrested for felonies in California are ultimately cleared every year.
Fletcher also noted that the state often objects to taking DNA samples from convicts who are languishing in prison and seeking to clear their names.
“What’s the justification for keeping the DNA?” Fletcher asked California Deputy attorney General Daniel Powell.
Powell replied: “Obviously, the solution of future crimes,” adding, “I think there is a deterrent effect.”...

Pedestrians Attacked By Secret Service For Walking In Street

June 4, 2010
Two men in the district of criminals were “subdued” (assaulted) for the crime of walking in the street yesterday, June 3.
It was a crime because his lordship — installed president teleprompter reader and chief narcissist Barry Obama — was returning to town and the Secret Service declared the pedestrians to be a threat to his motorcade. It is said the men refused direct orders from the Uniform Division of the Secret Service to clear the street.
“A Secret Service spokesman said the 2 men were arrested and charged with assault of a police office and failure to obey a lawful order,” the AP reports. This is now standard procedure — people get attacked by the cops and then charged with assault.
No word yet if they will be sentenced to years in the prison-industrial complex for the crime of walking in the street as the anointed one approached in his bullet-proof limo.

House Votes To Expand National DNA Arrest Database
Millions of Americans arrested for but not convicted of crimes will likely have their DNA forcibly extracted and added to a national database, according to a bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday.
By a 357 to 32 vote, the House approved legislation that will pay state governments to require DNA samples, which could mean drawing blood with a needle, from adults "arrested for" certain serious crimes. Not one Democrat voted against the database measure, which would hand out about $75 million to states that agree to make such testing mandatory.
"We should allow law enforcement to use all the technology available to them...to reduce expensive and unjust false convictions, bring closure to victims by solving cold cases, better identify criminals, and keep those who commit violent crime from walking the streets," said Rep. Harry Teague, the New Mexico Democrat who sponsored the bill.
But civil libertarians say DNA samples should be required only from people who have been convicted of crimes, and argue that if there is probable cause to believe that someone is involved in a crime, a judge can sign a warrant allowing a blood sample or cheek swab to be forcibly extracted.
"It's wrong to treat someone as guilty before they're convicted," says Jim Harper, director of information policy studies at the Cato Institute. "It inverts the concept of innocent until proven guilty."...

Opponents Worry DNA Sampling For Felony Arrest Violates Freedoms
High Point, NC -- Governor Bev Perdue wants people who are arrested for felonies to give a DNA sample.
But opponents of the initiative say our personal freedoms are at stake.
