I am aware!

When flying out of Portland a few days after Christmas, TSA had everyone sniffed by dogs. No joke. You had to get a partner and walk through a twenty foot fenced area while the dogs sniffed.

I think the dog thing is the best non-intrusive way to do screening. At least for explosives.

On a trip to Mexico with my daughters family, my granddaughter asked me to carry her backpack after we had gone through the first checkpoint. There was a dog sniffing everyone and it "lit" on the backpack. The dog sniffed out an apple... An apple! My granddaughter was standing about 5 feet away laughing at me. She was only 7 or 8 years old at the time... ha ha ha.

TSA abolition is on my wish list.

Bump!

PLEASE, PRESIDENT TRUMP:

PLEASE END THE REAL ID REQUIREMENT FOR FLYING.

INVADERS FROM ALL OVER HAVE BEEN COMING IN.

IT IS AN INSULT TO AMERICANS

“TSA added hundreds of conservative Americans to a terror watchlist..

Tulsi Gabbard was also added to that same list after criticizing the Biden regime.”

I’m reading a book on the Stasi after the wall was built and many west Berlins were trapped.

It doesn’t read much different than this, in the beginning stages. I can just imagine what Soros had planned for us in the next 4 years.

“They were ‘just’ willingly following orders from the top. That does not make them less guilty.”

Much like the guards at the prisons who took great delight in abusing the J6-ers. Even if they were following orders from evildoers, the guards had free will to do the right thing.

In other words, it’s a jobs program for otherwise unemployable inner city denizens.

[Billthedrill]

Still not tired of winning.

[lurk]

Admit it, y’all.

You wake up every day grabbing for the news of what giant thing Trump is going to do today.

The purpose of the TSA is to keep all the cool stuff and toiletries out of your bags to keep for themselves.

[lurk]

The purpose of the TSA is to feel up passengers of their choosing.

Another productive move. But, I thought it was a given. That he was planning to replace the director of every agency, at the minimum.

[yelostar]

The TSA is a humiliation ritual, invented by people - not Americans - who despise freedom.

[vespa300]

Yeah.....rare indeed.

[HollyB]

What do you mean in their native dress? They weren’t in uniform?

[vespa300]

That explains it.....

[HollyB]

Sorry, I just saw it was after 9/11. It probably was the original private security at DCA. Even tho TSA was formed in late 2001. They didn’t roll out to airports- (one ant a time) and when they did, they had white shirts with TSA on the back.

[HollyB]

Doubt that it’s discussed. What many people don’t know is in the beginning - they hired retired police, fire dept, military, airline management, etc
For example, a retired rear admiral directed TSA at one airport for a while.

[Degaston]

The lack of transparency about the NJ Drones is evidence of TSA not having the value it claims to have for America.
