TSA Busts Montel Williams for Marijuana Pipe
AP reports that the TSA busted Montel Williams for carrying a pipe commonly used to smoke marijuana (see below). They’ll copy credit cards, rummage through your stuff and tell your husband you’re taking his money, interrogate you about $5K in cash you have on you, and now they’re pretending to be the DEA?! The TSA is like the new secret police. They’ll go through your stuff without any legal right and get you in trouble for the most harmless and ordinary of items. Had enough yet?
Wisconsin authorities say former talk show host and medical marijuana activist Montel Williams has been cited for possession of drug paraphernalia at General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee County sheriff’s office says the Transportation Security Administration found Williams had a pipe commonly used for marijuana as he passed through a security checkpoint Tuesday.
The sheriff’s office says Williams paid the $484 citation and was released to continue his travel.
Williams has said he uses marijuana to relieve chronic pain caused by multiple sclerosis that was diagnosed in 1999. The 54-year-old has said he became an activist pushing for medical marijuana laws after being stopped at a Detroit airport years ago for carrying drug paraphernalia.
Messages left Tuesday for his attorney, Nina Shaw, were not immediately returned.

It is NONE of the TSA’s BUSINESS. Marijuana is NOT TERRORISM.
Cannabis is a medicinal herb that has been used for thousands of years. It only became illegal when elitists knew of its healing powers and because there was more profit in oil than cannabis.
It belongs to the people. Give it back to the people and stop the BS!
The TSA needs to be eliminated. Good for you Montel!
I consider TSA to be more dangerous than Montel Williams smoking a bowl…
A curse on all the elitists!
The writer of this notice stated: “They’ll go through your stuff without any legal right . . ..” Actually, the TSA does indeed have the right. How? You walk up to the TSA Handler with your shoes in your hand, and you let them go through your stuff. That’s called consent. The real issue is something else altogether. It’s called entitlement.
When was it our right to ride on someone else’s airplane without accepting their terms and conditions of the ticket we purchased? Never saw that in the Constitution for the United States (proper title). Maybe in a Democracy (which the US is not), but in our Constitutional Republic we have no such entitlement.
Does that mean I feel the TSA is doing the right thing? Hardly. Dignity in travel is important. Actual security measures that work? You bet! Is the TSA actually securing anything? I give ‘em a 20% chance to catch a man with a pipe, but 0% chance to find a real terrorist (who is actually going through the non-existent ground crews’ access point).
