Congress Proposes Legislation to Screen Adults and Children to Predict if You Pose a Threat

An Orwellian bill is gaining traction in Congress which would rate American citizens to allow law enforcement to assign you a threat assessment level.

(TAC) It has been nearly two years since I reported on the dangers of creating a law enforcement run Mental Health Assessment (MHA) program. In Texas, police use MHA’s to “screen” every person they have arrested for mental illness.

But the TAPS Act, first introduced in January, would take law enforcement screenings to a whole new level. It would create a national threat assessment of children and adults.

In the course of six months, the Threat Assessment, Prevention and Safety (TAPS) Act (H.R. 838) has seen support grow to nearly 80 Congress members.

Politicians are master manipulators. What better way to garner public support for a national threat assessment program than to introduce it during National Police Week.

The politicians laid it on thick, as a KHTS article revealed.

“We do this first to honor the sacrifice of these men and women in blue, who put their life on the line every single day to protect us in the vital role that law enforcement plays in the safety and well-being of our communities and our districts,” said Rep. Brian Babin (R-Calif.) in his opening statement. “And secondly to highlight a bipartisan solution — that we all are working on — to protect our communities and schools from the terrible acts of violence that we have seen, and are getting to be almost routine.”

Taken at face value, the TAPS Act sounds like a noble attempt to stop school shootings but not all is as it seems.

The TAPS Act would encourage law enforcement to give everyone a personal threat assessment (kids and adults) and single out those that they deem as future threats. (Click here to see how our homes receive threat assessments.)

The TAPS Act has all the earmarks of a paranoid police state that considers everyone a potential threat. It will create a “Joint Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Task Force to identify individuals that exhibit patterns of dangerous behavior that MAY precede an act of targeted violence.”

According to Senators Marco Rubio, Kyrsten Sinemea and Thom Tillis, the TAPS Act will create a national behavioral threat assessment and management process for everyone.

The never-ending war on terror and the National Threat Assessment program should not be used as an excuse to destroy our Bill of Rights.

We knew that our 4th amendment right went the way of the dodos long ago and then Snowden showed us how much worse it was when he released the information that he got from the NSA and Booz Allen. This week we learned about that new device that can scan us through our clothes and without our knowledge and now this.

How long until we get sent to internment camps like the Japanese Americans were? Obama and Trump have pushed the boundaries for how long immigrants can be locked up in detention centers and Trump has been thinking of ways to strip naturalized immigrants of their citizenship. How much of a conspiracy theory is it to think that the FEMA camps have been built and are just waiting for the right event to start sending people to them? Another 9/11 event? Another economic crash? A natural disaster? This article explains how if there is a massive influx of immigrants then they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. (DHS) Is this just fear mongering? Maybe. But I once thought that our rights were inalienable. The PTB have already created a police state by militarizing them and sending them to Israel to be trained by its military. No wonder they see us as insurgents... OWS, DAPL, BLM.... I'm not so sure that it's conspiracy theory anymore.
