Air travel was a lot better before the Feds decided to help.

Gosh, back in the day...we didn’t need Checkpoint Charlie to go flying.

We controlled the borders back then. So the trash didn’t get in.

It’s true we had some DB Coopers and the occasional deranged Leftist hijackers who wanted to go to Cuba, but they stopped flying 727’s a while ago so you can’t bail out and Castro started deporting the hijackers because who needs criminals in your country? Not even Fidel.

We surrender a lot when we leave the front doors to the country wide open.

"Executive order - let the airports hire their own security like they did pre TSA."

I like that idea. Also using the National Guard (DHerion).

I'm old enough to remember before TSA was a thing, and after 9/11, armed Guardsmen providing security at airports. And doing a very good job at it.

I'm also old enough to remember when there weren't metal detectors, you could go to the gate to dropoff/pickup friends and loved ones, when hot meals were served on airplanes, and when the armrests came with ashtrays.
