    The people with training (I’m against the TSA entirely but I will admit some of them have a good amount of training in respective disciplines) that are not getting paid get to work side by side with completely untrained assholes who are overpaid. This should go well.

      If history is any indication, they’ll prob get caught in the cross-fire like local law enforcement in Chicago, LA, or Minneapolis

        The only way to stop an untrained ICE agent with a gun is a trained TSA agent with a gun.

      There is no way there are enough ICE to do this.

      Trump is setting up the US for a ‘terrorist attack’ to justify the Iran War. Some poor brown guy with a beard will get gunned down just trying to fly home to his family, and MAGA will thank Jessica Foster for being blonde.

    How to reduce your countries travellers instantly to 0, just like they did with job creation. What semi sane person would travel to the us (or within for that matter)with the tsa handling things. You will be shipped off to Alligator Auschwitz in the blink of an eye before you even leave the airport. They will call it being efficient.

        I’m gonna DO everything I can think of every day.

        I’m looking for a removed in the armor.

        Here is a picture of the front of MY house on the highway.

        General strikes won’t work in America. MAGA doesn’t care if we go without jobs or money, and there are more than enough desperate poor people that they won’t have any problem finding scabs to replace strikers.

        We have a mechanism where we can deny them funding, and shut THEM down, and deny them their paychecks. Hurt THEM with our strategies, not us.

        Shut it all down, and let chaos reign. Elect Democrats, and it will end.

              And has that stopped them to date? Last I heard they’ve only increased their activity even in places like Minneapolis.

              Best case you get detained and miss your flight, realistically you do it in an airport and you’ll be a “terrorist”.

                So your plan is…nothing?

                That’s exactly like no plan.

                I’ll go with the whistles and only blow on it when I’m in a LARGE crowd, like at the airport.

                They have not increased their activity in Minneapolis since they announced the drawdown. They weren’t gone right away, and they’re still using the Whipple building for detention and outfitting vehicles, but most of the abductions are happening in the greater metro area and even then they’ve decreased.

    Every non-US American passport holder will immediately be sent to a concentration camp?

    “You’re a German tourist with a return flight next Monday I see. Mam, you’re taking our jobs, you’re eating our dogs, we will send you to an El Salvador prison straight away.”

    Combine racist xenophobic nazis holding guns and qualified immunity with stressed out, exhausted travelers. What a recipe for disaster.

      I feel like this is a really bad idea on their part. So far they’ve only been terrorizing blue communities, now everyone is gonna get a taste. Just a litttttle but harder for people to ignore their own eyes and ears.

    When you pass them in the airport, tell them their children hate them, because they probably do. At least some of them know it, and it will really eat at them.

    In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that Democrats view the long lines as “leverage” for their demands of change.

    “Democrats want to see long lines at airports as leverage. President Trump’s trying to take that leverage away and not make the American people suffer,” Duffy said.

    This strategy doesn’t make sense to me. Wouldn’t Trump want disruption to blame on congressional democrats? Or is the assumption the American people will always blame the president?

    I would think if they’re able to keep government functions going without funding DHS then it will just prove to people that there was never any need to fund it.

      Also, it’s the republicans who refuse to split the TSA funding out and approve it, because then they’re in a weaker position to push through funding for their nazi shit.
