Sorry this is sort of an Audiosift, no cameras as far as I can tell at the press conference --
Jesse Ventura held a press conference to comment on his case against the TSA (searches amount to unreasonable search and seizure, he argues) being thrown out on the basis that the Federal courts don't have jurisdiction to rule on the case.
As such, it would be passed to an appellate court if he chooses to take it further -- which would mean that it would not be heard by a jury, but instead by a fallible set of appointed judges. He is not optimistic that would be anything less than a farce.
He goes on to state that he has lost his patriotism as a result of this, and that he is going to pursue dual citizenship in Mexico so that he can stay there for longer periods of time.
I think his reaction is a bit dramatic, but I feel like it is basically warranted. Toss the TSA.

***edit:
Also discovered that there were cameras there, so it may be possible to find parts or all of the conference with a video feed.

longdeHe has no more patriotism? Screw him! There are many more people who get treated as criminals every day and don't "lose their patriotism".
Maybe he should have paid attention when his marginalized fellow citizens were having their rights violated for decades. Now that this crap has become normalized and affects him, now he wants to complain.
marblesYeah, screw him! And also screw those previously "marginalized" citizens that are not fighting the TSA!
Does anyone else see how asinine this position is?
