TSA (Thousands Standing Around) Their Motto: You don’t get on, unless we get off!
Given their level of failure at finding threats, we are getting a bonus by not having to pay them.

Great Tweet today by Tyler Q. Houlton @SpoxDHS on the #FakeNews being put out by @CNN, a proud member of the Opposition Party. @TSA is doing a great job!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2019

...

I think Steve Bannon was the first to call the media the opposition party.

CNN’s trying their best to drum up hysteria over the shutdown. They’re asking viewers to send in their tales of woe:

https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/government-shutdown-personal-stories/index.html

And then there’s this headline:
What? Even the panda cams? Government shutdown would hit National Zoo

https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/18/politics/panda-cameras-zoo-government-shutdown/index.html

And yes, the article is dated January 18, 2018 for some reason.

TSA wouldn’t pass up an opportunity.

The NYT was successfully demolished this week by two things. This story about that blazing liberal Webb as Secretary of Defense was exposed as an absolute intentional lie. Secondly, Jill Abrahamson, a former chief editor of that rag said herself that the New York Times was out of control “biased” against The President. All credibility is now gone at the NYT and it is now caught naked in the spotlight as a propaganda organ for the democrat party.( socialist , globalist , global warners , deep state and anti sovereightist)

My guess is the story was “true” in the sense that 170 TSA screeners really did call in sick. The TSA employs around 47,000 Transportation Security Officers, so 170 (one third of one percent) calling in sick during a holiday week is probably normal.

Oops: That was 170 in New York, but it's still probably normal.

I would say security at both locations are equal jokes. TSA is nothing more than bad security theater.

Actually, border security is better at catching contraband than the TSA...

TSA Pre? Best $85 I ever spent.

The lines are definitely getting longer. Anybody flying through Milwaukee or St. Louis can bear witness.

Yeah. Pure Kabuki. Very stylized and you aren’t supposed to see the stagehands.

Have they even missed a paycheck yet?

A very well paid fed job and they're starving and homeless after, maybe, one check is delayed.

They need to start listening to Dave Ramsey.

Better to get Global Entry if you have the opportunity.

I went thru TSA last week. I counted at least 5-6 standing around doing nothing. Then when the body scanner failed, no one in the check lane area knew how to fix it and they just sent everyone in that line thru the metal detector. No planes fell out of the sky. Weird.

"This will definitely affect the flying public who we (are) sworn to protect," Hydrick Thomas, president of the national TSA employee union, says in the report.

It sure will!

Miilions of trasvelers will enjoy a resurgence of FREEDOM from being un-shoed; dis-robed and feltup by surly government workers.

Gramma's will be escorted to their seats and little kids will not have their stuffed animals molested!

Countless hours of line standing and waiting will be eliminated.


This will not; however, stop a terrorist drone from being sucked into the engine of a jet on takeoff.

If the MAfia ran it, it would be extortion money.
