Steve Bierfeldt detained and questioned by St. Louis TSA


By: D. H. Williams @ 1:54 PM - EST

Mr. Bierfeldt was traveling from a regional meeting of a conservative political organization know to advocate sound money, small government, civil liberties and belief in The United States Constitution when he was detained and interrogated by Transportation Security Administration officials for having cash in his possession.

TSA agents claim having a large sum of money which could be any amount over $50.00 is cause to be detained and interrogated. When Mr. Bierfeldt asks if the interrogation over having cash is lawful he was threatened with further detainment and investigation by DEA and FBI.

TSA continues to threaten and detain Mr. Bierfeldt even after discovering the cash in his possession are funds belonging to Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty.

TSA contacts an FBI agent who quickly discovers the funds being transported are political contributions the FBI agent tells Mr. Bierfeldt he is free to go. However the lead TSA agent quickly responds that he must contact his supervisor first since because Mr. Bierfeldt is a “suspicious person” in his opinion.

This incident with national police is particular chilling in the shadow of the politically motivated Missouri Fusion Center MIAC Report labeling Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), his supporters, Campaign for Liberty, and anyone one who believes in conservative issues as a threat to national security.

Missouri says “heat is off’ will not investigate MIAC Report

Mike Ferguson (Chairman of the Libertarian party) tells Andrew Napolitano that a Missouri state senator said the media heat is off on the MIAC story and an investigation will not be necessary.

“I personally spoke with two members of the legislature this morning and all of them told me there is no investigation planned. One senators office actually went as far to said the media is letting up on it. It’s an old story where in the clear now. We don’t need to worry about an investigation.” Said Mike Ferguson
