NO!
It was all a greenie-weenie make air travel undesirable exercise in tyrannical humiliation.
Imstopped flying after november 2001. Havent lost a second with the Tough Sh1t Assholes.
You stay home all the time?
None of these things were right in any way.
Weird article.
Never paid off on the tease.
TSA itself should be phased out.
The whole thing stunk to high heaven.
The smell?
TSA and/or security of different types, tends to be reactive.
I would go stomp around in my chicken coop prior to heading to the airport, and tell the Shoe Checker as much. My small insignificant protest that, at least, amused me.
It’s called an illuminati / satanic humiliation ritual.
My reason...disease vector.

The way to stop attacks on aircraft is to let the countries behind it know that any attack would unleash the US military and they would target the leaders of those countries.
Trump only had the Iranian nuclear sites attacked when he should have also attacked the Iranian leaders. THAT would stop all future attacks and sent a warning to anyone else like the other mideast countries and North Korea etc.
Fritos in fact.
An early Clowsrd-Piven-type measure similar in it’s deliberate futility to the CIVID-era six-foot distancing rule.
That later measure having been spitefully designed solely to foment hatred for one’s fellow man.
Been over 75 for over 10 years and we old bombers could keep our shoes on.
in other countries, including those overseen by highly security-conscious governments
Ya, that also don’t look for gender and grievance degrees as a prerequisite for their security personnel.
How delightfully immature. Lol
Personally witnessed thousands of illegal aliens over time being ushered through the TSA VIP lines in the dead of night to make it to their free flights all over the country .
They had zero ID, no proof of who they were and many came from countries with terrorist histories.
They were wisked through their own personal security line without any ID check, without taking their shoes and belts off, no emptying pockets no putting their belongings and new government paid for iPhones in a bin, without having their carry on x rayed and they bypassed the nude scanner system.
All the while the rest of us schmucks had to follow all the TSA BS procedures of being hassled at the ID scanner and then following the drill of undressing, taking our shoes, jackets and belts off, emptying pockets ( and god help you if you missed a penney or a scrap of paper ) and dumping all your belongings into bins to be x rayed .
Then going through the process of doing jumping jacks in the nude scanner invariably followed by being patted down by a friendly TSA officer and periodically being pulled out of line for “ enhanced screening procedures” and to have your luggage searched with delays that caused missed flights.
All of this with unscreened, unvetted illegals who were coming from third world countries during Covid.
And having the friendly TSA officer in the enhanced screening section drag their heels to make sure you missed your flight if you pointed out the inconsistency between the treatment given to illegals flying for free and the American paying passengers
It was a fun and interesting 6 months before the Biden Admin stopped all pretense at hiding the illegal flights from in the dead of night and began loading illegals onto every flight they could find because they were flying so many illegals around the country they needed all the airline capacity they could supply.
Virtually EVERY flight was 100% full with 30% of the passengers often being illegal aliens. It was miserable flying
It became pretty obvious that the TSA “safety” procedures had far more to with compliance and government control than flight safety
The TSA needs to be massively reformed if not abolished
It's good to see the Trump Admin adding some much needed rationality to the system
At least 95% of the security measures you see in your daily life are designed for nothing more than calming the fears of a U.S. population filled with stunted misfits who are no longer capable of fending for themselves.
