The Justice Department has ordered the Drug Enforcement Administration to suspend its longstanding practice of searching passengers at airports — and seizing their cash — after the department's internal watchdog raised concerns that it was fueling widespread civil rights violations and potential racial profiling.
The inspector general found that the program "creates substantial risks that DEA Special Agents and Task Force Officers will conduct these activities improperly; impose unwarranted burdens on, and violate the legal rights of, innocent travelers." It also found that the searches "waste law enforcement resources on ineffective interdiction actions."
The inspector general found that DEA agents and their local police partners have been stopping passengers at airports solely because they bought a last-minute ticket — and demanding, without a warrant, to search their bags.
The searches are supposed to be voluntary, but the report found that the timing of the operations created a de facto threat in that refusing to agree to a search could cause passengers to miss their flights. If the agents found cash, they seized it through civil forfeiture — a legal process that places the onus on the passenger to prove it was not connected to drugs in order to get it back.
A passenger, who was in the Cincinnati airport and flying to New York, recorded himself telling a DEA agent that he did not consent to a search of his bags. "You don't have to consent," the agent was recorded saying. "When you buy a last-minute ticket, we get alerts. ... We have a lot of money and drugs going out of every airport to New York."
The IG found that the search was based on a tip by an airline employee who passed on the names of passengers who had purchased flights 48 hours before departure.
That employee was being paid by the DEA a percentage of the cash seized, the IG found, and had received tens of thousands of dollars over several years. That arrangement is problematic, investigators concluded.

Last post by patric - November 27, 2024, 01:13:34 PMA cringe-worthy video uploaded by the incoming president's granddaughter shows Donald Trump sending rocket man Elon Musk into an awkward spiral when he asks him if his rocket booster can be reused—after it crashed into the sea in a fireball. pic.twitter.com/9YvhWALM4P
"Can they use that again? Can they get it from the sea?"
Musk appears to do a double take and awkwardly responds: "Uhh, it's going to be...it's...it's probably gonna blow up. That's my guess."

Local Marketplace / Re: Buying beer online?
Last post by dbacksfan 2.0 - November 26, 2024, 07:03:33 PMDid some looking and you can't ship beer in AZ. Wine and Spirits you can if they are from small batch 20,000 gallons or less annual production.
A Bourbon that I like isn't sold here, but I found a liquor store in San Diego that has a license to sell and ship to AZ so a couple of times a year I order one, cheaper than the drive over and back.

That was a rough game injury wise. Was a bit surprised by Alabama looking so off.
Sooners did a good job taking control of the game.
