But isn't this happening already in other places, just in a different capacity?
Place like Tennessee should probably be worried more about drug smuggling and meth labs though I'd think.

Agreed.
There is the potential for serious abuse here by an agency with a record that is already tarnished.

Stasi seems like a very appropriate way to describe the TSA.
Or the NKVD, considering the article suggests that all motorists need to "report all suspicious activity."
Yeah, half the people on the road can barely change lanes without hitting one another and they're going to "spot" anything?

Agreed.
It's just another in a long line of police state apparatus that started back with Nixon and his "war on drugs."
Republican or Democrat, it doesn't matter anymore.
The industrial complex has its meat-hooks into both parties, and they keep blaming "capitalism" for it.
I hope there is a god, because we as a society don't seem like we're going to turn this speeding locomotive around before we reach the cliff.
