I had an ultimately harmless encounter with ICE at an airport TSA checkpoint. It was a preview of a new, more sophisticated way to terrorize people.

    in Our Daily Lives

    Right… Most of us fly every day. That’s a daily occurrence for sure. It isn’t seeing them at diners or patrolling neighborhoods that affects our “daily lives”, it’s the airports. The place that has been a totalitarian dystopia where we all know we have no freedoms or rights and haven’t for 25 years.

    Replace ICE with TSA and this can be an article from 2003.

      Yup. Although rare, we all have the slight fear of being the one they “misidentified” and get taken back for a full strip search and left alone in a room for hours.

      Don’t look at them as if they’re normal. They are not normal and should not be there.

      The difference between TSA and ICE is like the distance between Paul Blart and Derek Chauvin

          Paul Blart:

          Derek Chavin (the man he’s kneeling on died as a result of this):

          Paul Blart is a fictional mall cop. Derek Chauvin was an actual cop who is now a convicted murderer for suffocating an unarmed and nonviolent black man on the streets of Minneapolis.

          Paul Blart is a fictional mall security guard. Kinda incompetent, excessive sense of self importance, but a good guy.

          Derek Chauvin was a real cop who murdered George Floyd by kneeling on him, cutting off his airway until he died.

    I’m pretty sure TSA started the process.
