Why do they have to work? Doesn’t it make more sense to shutdown US airports?

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

Or just run them without TSA, like we used to before 9/11

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Because people need to eat.

Also, some air travel is essential.

Or do you want to stop medical couriers from delivering organs for transplant?

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol the idea of a medical courier waiting in line at the TSA rummaging through their organ containers because they flagged it sus in the x-ray machine.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

They said shut down the airport. That includes couriers.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you trying to imply...that the medical couriers ...are transporting ...food?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You do know that 'also' is a word used to separate two different points, right?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah but implying that medical couriers are selling their payloads on a cannibal black market is juicer than a fat mans liver.

With some fava beans.

And a nice chianti.

Juicer than a fat mans liver? I dunno man I never met you.

They are only doing it in the first place because they need to eat

Or do you want to stop medical couriers from delivering organs for transplant?

The rich would give in long before this and have the mattered settled in an emergency meeting because they have places they want to go

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, hence why I said shutting down airports

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, but private airports, or airstrips, exist and probably have little to no TSA involvement. Some guy nearby lands his helicopter in his back yard.

You one comment ago:

Doesn’t it make more sense to shutdown US airports?

You this comment:

The rich would give in long before this and have the mattered

Which is it? Does it make sense to shut down U.S. airports or is that something that wouldn't happen?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How are you confused on that

If they were to announce airport shutdowns then the budget would be passed to prevent that

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

You didn't say announce a shutdown. If you meant announce it and not actually do it, you sure weren't clear about that since you said it would make sense to do it.
