Boy am I glad they're making sure a terrorist with a bomb can't get onto a plane to kill a lot of people packed together in a crowded place.

Can't blow up a plane if nobody can get onto the plane!

Blows up airport instead ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Well, that's not TSAs direct job, so they don't care.
They're called TSA, not G(round)SA or A(irport)SA or... for a reason!
TBH I wonder why it hasn’t happened yet. Imagine the loss of freedom 🇺🇸 🦅 once that happens
It has, in Belgium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_bombings Maybe it wasn't close enough to scare the 'muricans?

Let’s concentrate all the people in one place so that they can’t bring weapons onto a plane. Nothing could go wrong…
Just a half dozen bags dropped off in the course of 10 minutes.

Tired of ~~waiting~~ winning yet?
Pleease Mr. President, no more winning!
Mr. President, it's too much winning!
A man came up to me once, big man, strong man, with tears in his eyes and said. Mister President we are ~~waiting~~ winning too much, please Mister President we are tired of ~~waiting~~ winning.
Good thing the US has a high speed railway network like China, Japan, Europe or Morocco, so you don't need to get on a plane. Oh.. wait...
I hear Elon Musk is getting right on that. These conservatives are so efficient and successful! Good thing we keep finding new tax breaks for them.
Why don't they just let people take their assault rifles onto the plane such that they can defend themselves? Are they stupid?
It's an airplane, not a grade school classroom.

Is there any other country on earth that stops working altogether once a year?
Lol I was looking into this the other day. From what I understand it's to prevent too much power being with any one group in US govt ..
Short answer is no, most countries have rules that see public servants (govt. employees) paid even when a department's budget has not been agreed - for example Belgium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932011_Belgian_government_formation
Thank you. To give another example, in Italy it is necessary to approve the budget by 31st of December. If this doesn't happen the budget is controlled by the government but with limitations and only one month at a time. I think it's a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I think it’s a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I agree for most countries.

Only once a year? Are you talking about the US, because it seems to have stopped working quite some time ago.
The sad thing about this is that most Trump supporters probably don’t fly because either they’re always in their own bubble and/or can’t afford to. So they can’t relate to this, so it’s a non-issue sadly.
So they get to punish others for doing the things they choose not to do.
Again.

Looks like a freedom country chicken farm
Your get what you voted! Enjoy your fucking war.
The American electorate, truly the greatest in the world
I’d much rather have Camacho as the president. At least he knew that he should trust people smarter than him.
Camacho was a great president. I submit the following:
-
When faced with a problem he didn't know how to solve, he appointed the best person he could find and listened to their advice.
-
Upon realizing that he made a mistake, he reversed course and corrected.
-
I don't think he ever raped a minor.

I’ve only been to JFK once, but I get the sense that the lines there always look like this. Not saying all the other stuff isn’t an issue, but don’t give JFK any credit. Hands down the worst airport I’ve been to. Avoid at all cost.

There are several terminals with security checkpoints, this does not represent “JFK Airport” as a whole. This shown terminal is T5, JetBlue’s terminal.
Edit: who downvoted, lol. I’ve been to JFK 4 times this week. Nothing I said is untrue. It literally says Jetblue check in on the sign. Go pound sand.

My coworker noped out of a trip across country because they’d have a grandchild with them, and didn’t want any issues with missing flights, long waits, or ICE shenanigans. If they didn’t have their grandchild, they probably would have taken the train instead.
Edit: more info
Are the flights backed up to, or are they just leaving half empty all the time?

And not a mask to be found as a new variant of Covid surges…
Jesus Fucking Krist airport right now.
I feel like I'm missing something, what's the context?
TSA (the security theater people) had been unfunded for the last 50 or so days
Additional context:
TSA is part of DHS (Department of Homeland Security). ICE and border patrol are also a part of DHS.
After ICE started shooting citizens, the democrats said “no additional funding without some reforms.” In trumps Big Beautiful Bill ICE was already given a huge chunk of funding for the next few years, but they would like more.
Democrats have been trying to fund TSA but want a separate vote for ICE. This arrangement recently passed the senate but republicans in the house voted it down because they think they can pin the blame on the democrats and force them to give ICE more funding along with the TSA.
