Move over FBI and IRS, a new federal agency is garnering attention for alleged weaponization against Americans.
The Homeland Security Department announced Tuesday that an internal investigation uncovered “widespread abuses” carried out by the Biden administration's Transportation Security Administration to make air travel “weaponized” against certain Americans.
The revelation that U.S. citizens were kept from flying over their political views drew immediate condemnation from Congress.
"It’s not American …. It’s another example of weaponization of our government that took place under the Biden administration," Rep. Mark Harris, R-N.C., said. "It’s absolutely unacceptable."
In a joint announcement with the TSA, Homeland Security said its investigative findings are being referred to the Justice Department.
In the announcement, acting agency TSA Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill, said the Biden-era officials “under the direction and leadership” of previous TSA Administrator David Pekoske had “systematically watch-listed and denied boarding to those who exercised their individual rights and resisted mask mandates on airplanes nearly six months after the CDC relaxed its indoor mask mandate.”

Every SOB involved in that should be fired “for cause” - no benefits, no retirement. Go rot in hell.
I’d say yes after being hauled out of the security line several times for a secondary search. Last time, a few months ago - my arms had to be patted down, for whatever reason. Another time it was a full body pat down, right in public. My son had to take out everything and spread it across a table for inspection, including the contents of his wallet.
Flying is a miserable experience, mainly b/c of the TSA and if I didn’t have family on the opposite side of the country, I’d never travel by air again.
Flying is a miserable experience, mainly b/c of the TSA...
Agreed. An agency that should be ended, & let the airlines deal with security.
My husband & I got the TSA pre-check. It saved us a lot of trouble while traveling. I figured they’d offered such a program just to make money, & hassled other travelers to encourage them to get it, too.
Put the entire Biden administration on the no-fly list.
Yes, my family has this, they travel more than I do and say it really helps and was worth the time, effort and money.
I was SO hoping the TSA would go away...at least we apparently no longer have to take our shoes off. I have two trips coming up so I’ll know soon...
Once you get out of the USA flying is pleasant. IME it’s only in the US where flying is like being in a stockyard. People are treated as livestock.
Not “new” news - we knew they were putting conservatives on the no fly list.
Good PR to put it on TSA though - maybe we can get that agency shut down.
“Every SOB involved in that should be fired “for cause” - no benefits, no retirement. Go rot in hell.”
Agreed. Then they should all be charged with Sedition, and imprisoned. These are the ‘Democrats’ who claim to be for ‘Democracy’ and the ‘Constitution’ who did this. Remember.
Down with the onerous and incompetent TSA.
Make Airports Great Again.
Is the TSA going to be abolished?
No?
Then it’s just re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic. A few guys may get fired and everybody will say see the problem is fixed.
The problem is that the TSA exists. It needs to be aborted.
Weaponized by Obama...every airport I went into since Obama’s terms was manned primarily by black TSA agents that were rude and non professional toward whites. The treatment by them toward blacks versus white was quite evident.
I occasionally moo when in a long line at airport security. Never got the rest of the herd to join in. Yet.
TSA is a jobs program disguised as transportation security. It’s all theater. They’re weaponized civilian jack-boots. Exactly what you’d expect from a black community organizer.
Biden administration made the Bolsheviks proud gained ground.
Trump in clean up mode.
