The never-ending push to turn every public venue into an extension of the Police State is now moving to zoos.
Their justification, public safety of course.
The Smithsonian’s National Zoo wants to install checkpoints, metal detectors, bag searches and much more.
Last month the Smithsonian sent a security proposal to the National Capital Planning Commission detailing their plans to turn the zoo into a TSA-style checkpoint.
Zoos to create bus passenger checkpoints
The National Zoo also wants to create bus passenger checkpoints.
The zoo will join other museums and cemeteries using TSA-style security.
The Smithsonian warns visitors not to bring daypacks, backpacks and food into museums.
“Do not bring large daypacks, backpacks, or luggage into the museums, as they will be subject to a lengthy search in each building entered.” And also warns visitors not to bring food, claiming that there are “no accommodations available for eating bag lunches within the museums.”
How long before other zoos follow suit and ban daypacks, backpacks. strollers, beverages and food?
Visitors to the Arlington National Cemetery and other museums have had to remove all the contents from their pocketssince 2016. (To find out more about Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History bag and pocket search click here.)
How long will it be before zoos and museums use TSA biometric Precheck scanners on vistiors? (Click here & here to find out how the MLB, NHL and more use PreCheck to spy on fans.)
Why are American’s allowing the police state to ruin museums and zoos?
In the not-too-distant future, parents will have the pleasure of bringing their kids to a TSA-style petting zoo. Where kids will learn firsthand what it’s like to be petted, sorry I meant searched by zoo police/security.
If you think the police state will stop at zoos and museums, I have some bad news for you.
As I mentioned earlier, the expansion of TSA-style checkpoints is not limited to just museums and zoos. They are spreading to cruise ships, Disney World, bus and train stations,
How long before zoos and museums begin installing license plate readers?
The use of license plate readers and CCTV surveillance cameras is being used by sports stadiums, hospitals, shopping malls, universities, public transit and power companies.
Slowly but surely, America’s zoos and museums will be absorbed by DHS and turned into TSA-style checkpoints.
Well we knew this would spread beyond airports, and it looks like you won’t be able to enter any building without some freak putting his hands on your crotch.
This dehumanizes people. It teaches them that they’re someone else’s property, and can be personally violated at their will. This is about conditioning the public to totally submit to authority, and if the conditioning continues, they’ll be lost as far as defending their rights is concerned.
If you can be molested by a pervert whenever you enter a building, you obviously have no rights. (and you can bet your last dollar they’re seeking out perverts to do this job)
pretty soon there wont be any place you can go without being searched
will this kill businesses? I know it will for me..
I have a policy , If my legally owned and carried personal protection tool cant come in … Than neither can my money
Arm, Equip, and Train as Militia.
I’ve never been handled by one of these thugs. Don’t intend to be.
Like that 92 yr old mother, I carry pistols in my robes.
NEVER LEAVE HOME UNARMED!!!!!
I visit Biltmore house in western North Carolina several time a year. About two years ago, they now have police, search bags of anyone going into the house, bollards to keep you from driving near the house to drop off people, people standing around in the house that look like armed guards; when I ask they were silent.

Been to the National Zoo (2009). Not worth the privacy invasion! Heck the small desert animal “zoo” outside of Pecos, Texas, is better than that zoo! Bronx Zoo is the best–but I’m sure the police state will be there shortly if it isn’t already.
All those other museums I visited on 2009 trip to DC mentioned above being police state now have been that way for a while on a smaller scale. for instance, the Air and Space Museum had checkpoints similar to early airport TSA checkpoints.
And keep in mind that it isn’t just about police state crapola–food vendors at these places LOVE the fact that folks can no longer bring in snacks or even water….it’s either all about the totalitarianism or it’s all about the money!
