If YOU *INVOLUNTARILY* applied for the BACKDOOR FEDERAL REAL ID called TWIC, then you have subnitted to being a SLAVE of the federal government, and YOU actually *asked PERMISSION* from the TSA to work in the harbors/ports in the U.S.A. You did NOT *FREELY* ask for the TWIC, as it clearly states it is MANDATORY. HINT: Peonage is FORBIDDEN by the U.S. Constitution. If YOU as a trucker, actually paid a FEE to the TSA, just so they can tell you that you are NOT a terrorist in your own country, and asked the TSA *PERMISSION* TO WORK, (Because that's exactly what the TWIC is), then YOU have no reason to complain. All you port/harbor drivers should know that NOTHING has CHANGED in port/harbor security since 9/11 and TWICS *creation*. The ports/harbors still operate as usual just as they did before 9/11. Only difference NOW is that if you do not have a TWIC in *possession* you cannot enter the ports/harbors to pick up or drop off loads, and mty's etc... As well the U.S. Coast Guard is a naval MILITARY force that is quartered upon *private property* and is refusing us private sector workers the right to earn a living UNLESS we bow down and agree to ALL the terms TSA put forth in it's COMPELLED application process. Also private sector trucking companies are violating you RIGHTS to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness in order to earn a living in your chosen field and provide for your families by even refusing you employment UNLESS you possess this new federal backdoor franchise REAL ID. Did ANY of you truckers actually READ the TWIC literature, or to whom it actually is FOR, BEFORE you paid the TSA a (permission to work FEE)? OR, did all the 1,2 million people who paid for it beacuse the GOVERNMENT TOLD YOU YOU NEED IT? Me, I absolutely REFUSE to pay any new government agency a FEE just to work and tell me that I am not a terrorist in my own country. The American Truckers Association and Union creeps, well THEY glady endorse it because it forces even MORE Owner Ops out of the game UNLESS they agree to ALL the terms the TSA sets forth. If the Union creeps can't get you one way, they will lobby (like they did) the congress to pass a phony unconstitutional law to keep you out. It's called FALSE SECURITY, because absolutely NOTHING has changed in the ports/harbors operating procedures as was befor 9/11, the pretext of this new BACKDOOR FEDERAL PREMISSION TO WORK FRANCHISE ID. All of you TRUCKERS who actually PAID for one and possess one, well I feel so sorry for you. When 1.2 million workers tell congress and the TSA NO!!!! WE DON'T WANT IT, then they all run for cover like the little cowardly chicken hawks they are. Buuut, since 1.2 million plus have not applied for it because they were TOLD they NEEDED it, then YOU people have become slaves to the government and it's socialist permission to work system.
