TSA = Thousands Standing Around – The most useless, worthless Government agency ever created
IN 2024, the TSA confiscated 6,678 guns at airport check-points. Ninety-four percent of the weapons were loaded. I for one appreciate the TSAs existence and mission to make commercial flights safe from deranged terrorists.
I am glad to have dedicated federal employees serving our nation to protect flight safety.
Also, I believe this recent change about now keeping shoes on at security was rushed by the Trump administration without proper planning or confirmation it is in the best interest of flight safety.
I just got on a flight today, and we were all told by the TSA agents under the new rule to keep our shoes on. I was wearing the same ordinary sneakers I have worn for over a year when flying at of multiple airports. I went through the “advanced” body scanner (one of the type the Trump administration claims negates the need to remove shoes), and the TSA agent apologetically told me I had to remove my shoes to be scanned separately because they triggered the “advanced” body scanner. I noticed the same thing happened to various other passengers. As usual with this administration, it is all about pandering and putting on a good show over practicality and what actually works.
As a frequent flyer, I don’t want Kristi Noem deciding security matters. One would think the Federal Aviation Administration, which exists to making flying safe, would want to make the final call on this in light of its experience on the risk certain liquids in carry-on baggage pose to an aircraft and everyone on it. There are numerous examples in aviation history of in-flight explosions bringing down commercial aircraft. Of course, because she flies on government planes, Noem doesn’t worry about such trivial concerns the rest of us might have.
This administration does not have a good track record of thinking and studying consequences before acting quickly. That has certainly been the case with spending cuts and rapid firings. Now, they’ll loosen security restrictions for flying without meaningful study. What could go wrong?
We all want safety, folks, but if it can be done more efficiently, is that worthy of criticism? Geez, lighten up and let them try to improve things for all passengers. Throughout history, maintaining the status quo has never advanced a civilization.
Leave it to Nate’s Flock to somehow make the most common sense adjustments political and Bad!
Obviously it has never occurred to a Biden voter to question why the bajillion dollar machine everyone walks through can’t determine if someone is hiding an AR in their shoe or question how 4 ounces of fluid is a security threat
A Hogsett voter questioning Kristi Noem is the funniest thing I will read today
