I’ve got news for the TSA and the airlines. It’s gestapo tactics kept more than that off the planes.
It kept my wife and I off them too. Millions of Americans are now taking a pass on flying.
I will not subject my wife or myself to this barbaric behavior.
I’ve come to realize TSA stands for Touch Sh-t Americans.
Right back at you TSA. F U 2
That's the thing.. The TSA doesn't care if you fly or not. They get paid to be there no matter what, independent upon how many passengers are going to fly, if the airlines are dying, whatever, it doesn't matter. I mean, seriously, Boise International? I could possibly see a vague argument that there are some airports that are higher risk, but Boise?
The second genius moment is that the more draconian the actions by the TSA, and the more passengers who refuse to fly because of it, the more bailouts the airlines will get in subsidies, allowances, tax credits, and outright payouts. They'll still make money, else they'd be out in front of us screaming about this inane treatment. The employees will get laid off, of course, as fewer flights means fewer employees, but that's the little guy, and they can look forward to nearly 2 years of unemployment as their payoff...
Hopefully more people will react the way you are reacting. Then the loss of business by the airlines just might get the to pressure Congress to pressure the TSA to rescind these ridiculous new procedures.
