ICE agents get paychecks. TSA officers get food banks. Same department. Same shutdown. Different bank accounts. Congress chose who eats and who doesn't.
I didn’t address any more of you’re post because I’ve been having this argument for two days, and I’m tired of it.
Essentially, everybody wants to get rid of TSA because they aren’t effective, and NOBODY has made any suggestion at all about what would be a better alternative. Whatever the reason is, the current system has worked well for 25 years, far better than any other previous 25 years period, and nobody can agree which elements are the most important, so I’m for keeping the whole thing as it is.
Besides, what would a new system look like? When all was said and done, it would probably end up looking pretty close to what we have now, except the agents would have to be NICER. Truthfully, that seems to be the biggest objection these babies have about TSA.
And one final thing: How excited are you going to be to start flying in a system that doesn’t bother to screen and passengers or bags, because the cockpit door is locked, so everybody is perfectly safe?
