News on Agenda 21 from Sandman in Austin

Subject: Re: Agenda 21


What's new Faye!

How are things in West Texas? This drought is looking more like the 1930's! This spring felt like August and now it is almost 100 every single day and zero real rain since October of last year! Now we are watching some ancent Live Oaks dieing from the stress. Oh well, I guess that means I will have plenty of firewood for the Winter!

The world seems to be getting crazier every day, The Agenda 21 thing is at play right now in my area. "Gubmint" is funding NGO'S and other special interest authority groups to control most normal activities that people do who live in rural areas around Austin. They want us to register our well pumps even though they are private, They want us to ask them for permission if we bulld anything (yes, even a garden or chicken house) Plus many more mad-man control measures. People are getting active on fighting this, but as Long as Washington continues to fund Lawyers to push this, it will be a very long fight. The Agenda 21 pdf file I read, uses multiple colorized maps to indicate the value of various geographical locations around Austin . The properties are valued on the historical, ecological, social, environmental importance. These control freaks act as if they are out to save the planet but the real agenda is to control growth and development in this area. If population movement into sensitive areas is such a bad thing, then why are the same people pushing for open borders and unlimited immigration? Agenda 21 is a transfer of the wealth and power of the Plebs to a small group of individuals. ...Sounding familiar?

I have been active in protesting the emerging Police State, I don't think anybody (except a few) want to live in a Police State. My travel by aircraft is over until they stop running us through x-ray machines and groping us. Last month, Texas almost outlawed groping by the TSA but Washington threatened to stop all airline activity in or out of the State if the bill went through. (that would not be Constitutional if they did restrict flights.) Anyway, Austin has huge numbers of freedom luvin' Patriots and there have been several demonstrations. Believe me, these are fun events!

Here is a video of one protest!

The biggest question we need to ask is why are they treating law abiding citizens like common criminals while turning away from the open borders..."The amount of tyrrany we live with is exactly the amount that we are willing to tolerate" What else can we do?

Anyway, I will check out the site you told me about this evening, I have been away for 5 days, still need to decompress!

TSA Confiscates Pregnant Woman's Insulin, Ice Packs

Security Tells Woman Isulin Vial Was An Explosives Risk

Written by Marc Stewart, 7News Reporter

DENVER -- A Denver couple has filed a formal complaint with the Transportation Security Administration after a pregnant woman's insulin and ice packs were confiscated by screeners at Denver International Airport.


The couple has traveled around the world with her medical supplies, including insulin and syringes, and have never encountered any troubles before, they said.

"It made me feel upset and made me feel somewhat helpless," said Aaron Niema.

"I got a bottle of nail polish. I got hair spray bottles. I got needles that are syringes. But yet I can't take through my actual insulin?” she asked.


The mother-to-be said she brought the appropriate doctor's note and the medication was labeled correctly, so she's perplexed as to why her insulin would be confiscated this time.

She said she was able to get half a vial through security, apparently unnoticed by TSA agents.

"It was at the bottom of my lunch box because they didn't search it all the way through. They just took out every thing on top,” she said.

The woman has since made arrangements for additional insulin to be delivered to her while she's in Arizona.

The TSA would not get into specifics of this case, but provided 7NEWS this prepared statement.

TSA's mission is to safely, efficiently and respectfully screen nearly 2 million passengers each day at airports nationwide.

We are sensitive to the concerns of passengers who were not satisfied with their screening experience and we invite those individuals to provide feedback to TSA through a variety of channels. We work to balance those concerns with the very real threat that our adversaries will attempt to use explosives to carry out attacks on planes.

It is the traveler's responsibility to have proper government issued identification and a boarding pass; to cooperate with applicable screening procedures and instructions and to communicate their disability or health related needs.

Liquid medications should be labeled, and those in quantities larger than 3.4 ounces (100ml) each need to be separated from other carry-on items and declared to the security officer as medically necessary. A declaration can be made verbally, in writing, or by a person's companion, caregiver, interpreter, or family member. Liquids in excess of 3.4 ounces will require additional screening.

Note:  Insulin vials usually come in 10 ml.

Comment from Physician on TSA

Andrew Carney MD · 4 hours ago


I am a physician who had been on the Radiation Safety Committee at a university hospital.

In 2004, when going through the San Antonio Airport, I saw there was no radiation shielding for employees. When I tried to inquire what the radiation safety procedures were, I was roughed up, apprehended, searched, jailed, had my flight cancelled and subsequently blackballed for any flying. I suffered 2 years of a living hell.

My fine was $10,000 for interfering with the screening process. Please understand the TSA has no standards for radiation exposure of passengers or employees. The TSA is a bullying federal police. It is out of control and has been out of control for some time..
