TSA was created as a result of 9-11. 9-11 was probably the largest false flag operation of all time. Eliminate TSA and the non-Patriot act!!!!
Had the TSA been around on 9-11, every single one of those terrorists still would have made it onto their planes. They still would have snuck their box cutter knives on somehow. TSA would have done nothing to stop them.
A lot of grandmas and white businessmen would have been singled out for extra scrutiny, so that those TSA workers could feel extra good about themselves, and the fact that they let Johnny Jihad pass right on through.
What terrorists? Do you really think a few towel heads could successfully hijack and airplane with at least 80 people on board each one, using just box cutters? I'm a small man but I'd still beat someone to death for trying to hijack an airplane I'm on.
"Somehow" - TSA misses guns in their own internal testing
More than 90% of the time.
You would think security theatre would at least hire better actors but they're too busy grifting that tax funding to bother even pretending to do anything functional
Absolutely! Both are in opposition to the Constitution and illegal.
I would love to see the info come out and then TSA gone.
They never caught a single terrorist
Watch them do the FBI thing now where they set up someone to catch and claim they have a purpose
I don't think that was ever the purpose.
They are the terrorists. They terrorize innocents while they help all the illegals onto the planes. Didn't you see that the last 4 years?
They made me thrown $10 jar of peanut butter in the trash in TUSCON. My husband had IBS and it’s all he could eat on the way home. I’m not a terrorist.
Damn those people. Oh I know.
Sorry, I saw them make a man throw away an unopened $50 bottle of alcohol away that he had JUST BOUGHT in duty free
But duty free is inside of TSA security…he have to leave and come back through a different terminal?
Send me a time machine with the way to go back to that exact moment (and back) & I'll ask him
lol
What happens to all these confiscated goods? Do the TSA employees or their bosses have a field day with them? If the TSA was legit, they would have set up a way to ship any eligible confiscated goods to you rather than just stealing them.
IDK ask your local police what happens to actual unclaimed valuables from local lost & founds all over. If they get angry at you for asking you know where it went
Well, at least, you know some TSA agent took home a nice jar of PB.
Last year my daughter and I were flying out of Raleigh-Durham. We are at the screening area where you have to practically disrobe to get into the secure area. I put all my stuff in the screening bins, separate them the way they insist we must, go through Xray and go around to pick up my stuff on the other side of the conveyor belt.
2 bins come out and I start putting my shoes on and putting my laptop and other stuff back in the bag when I see my purse get rerouted to the inspection belt. Now I know I had removed my gun so it can’t be that, so I’m thinking maybe I forgot to take out my knife.
The TSA Agent, a black woman with a serious attitude, asks the usual silly questions like is this your bag (Yes, I say to myself; why do you think I am standing here waiting for you to do your thing.) and is there anything in there that shouldn’t be (As if you really think I’m going to say yes) and IS there anything in there that can I get hurt with (Lady, my entire purse is a weapon. Would you like me to hit you with it?). So she pulls out my wallet. It holds credit cards, cash and change and gives me a “gotcha” look. I’m confused because while I have a couple hundred in cash, it’s nowhere near the $10,000 limit they say we cannot have. (That’s a rant for another time.)
She says, “There are coins in there.” Now I’m confused because of all the things I expected her to say, the word coins was not one of them. I just give her a stupid look because I’m sort of in shock at what I think she is accusing me of. She repeats it and I proceed to tell her I don’t understand what she means. My mind is running a thousand miles a second trying to think what “coins” could be a euphemism or metaphor for. She reaches over and unzips the coin portion of my wallet and smirks as she says, “There are coins in there.” There was probably less than a dollar in pennies, nickels, dimes and a quarter or two. So, I agree with her. Yes, they’re coins.
Now she’s getting angry with me. “I asked you if there were coins in there.” I’m still not really grasping what is her point, so I said “They’re not illegal.” By this point she is about ready to blow a gasket and starts lecturing me about having coins in my wallet and that I should have told her upfront that they were in there. I calmly (and still totally confused) tell her I’ve never been asked about having coins in my wallet before. She continues lecturing me about having coins in my wallet and I should have declared it. Oh, Okay.
She throws my wallet back in the bin and walks away. I grab my stuff and walk over to my daughter who is getting concerned because it’s taking me so long and the person detaining me is getting agitated. I tell her what transpired and she is just as dumbfounded as I was. I guess it is no longer acceptable to have money/coins in your wallet anymore and it scares some people.
Think about it, shoes? Some countries don't care about taking off your shoes and their planes stay in the air. The placing of your cell phones in bins with shoes that have trace amount of feces on their soles, seems unhygienic. Yet masks were there to protect you. Everything is in place to create stress.
Yup - stressed humans are easier to control, which is the primary function of big govt.
Exactly. Now add real ID
Don’t forget the ‘shoe bomber’ was escorted around airport security by a man in a suit (cia?) and placed on the plane.
Blatant false flag of course!!
When I stopped flying, this was one of the reasons why. They asked me at work why I didn't want to go travel any more, and I said I would when they privatize TSA and start profiling.
Now that they have that stupid Real ID thing going on, Nah, still not gonna fly any more.
Yeh, the reasons not to fly have stacked up and outweighed the reasons to fly.
Air travel is completely unlike ground transportation in the risk/benefit ratio.
People love to trumpet about flying being safer than driving on a highway, but I find that patently absurd.
Compare the number of car trips occurring annually and the crashes involved to the number of air trips occurring annually and the crashes involved. As a percentage of total trips taken, car travel sees far fewer accidents. Plus! When your airplane does crash, you can kiss your ass goodbye. Automobile accidents involve approximately 1-2% fatality risk.
Additionally, having no idea how many DEI hires and "severely mentally disabled" individuals are involved in the maintenance and operation of the aircraft I'd be trusting my life to has a way of erasing my enjoyment of any perceived benefits flying would provide.
Plus the food sucks. Am I right, Seinfeld? ;p
Wish I could just drive but unfortunately, I don't have enough vacation to drive everywhere.
I always thought the sole reason for the TSA was to create unnecessary stress for the passengers.
So many things in our life exist only to create stress. That way we are easier to steer.
Stress will make people sick and easier to control.
That would be excellent!!! Hate the wait times and the feeling like a criminal.
And worst of all they don’t even have the common courtesy to finish with a good reach-around.
Damn right. I hate it a lot.
This needs to be done. They need to be abolished! Put airport security back into private hands where there's actual accountability, and competition. The TSA of today is nothing but low IQ pedos in blue shirts molesting people on a daily basis.
Would love to see it.
The most useless agency in the government
IRS would like a word.
So would the ATF.
😂Oh no, not the dreaded word! There's nothing worse than the word.
Exactly. I know because I watched them harass my 6 years old niece.
This is awesome, people fail to realize this doesn't mean no security, just gives private sector ability to compete among each other & replace inefficient government
I wouldn't trust poorly trained security either. The industry is awful, and I guess the only better trained ones are in private security.
Private sectors are very efficient.
Of course, you know what will happen if they rid us of the TSA, right? The evil ones will act out and tell us, see, freedom is bad.
Translation: the intelligence community will supply deranged psychopaths whom they have been cultivating for the purpose of creating violent chaos
I was thinking CIA would insert a bomb, you mean?
I’m so grateful that I have no reason for air travel more than once per year. Everything about it sucks. My sister’s husband has to fly once per week. There is absolutely no way I could do it. That would be torture.
Once a week, sucks big time. I probably fly 2x a year also.
Please, God...
Get rid of real ID also.
Its a smokescreen. All they do is hold up people. I've travelled with lighters, knives in my carry on backpack. Not on purpose, but forgot to remove them. Forgot- I did get busted with a tube of Voltaren in my bag. But he gave it back after holding me up staring at it for a few minutes
I sure don't like them.
The
Stupid
Association
Where else will those morons get a job?
They can get jobs in the porn industry being professional gropers.
Opt for the pat down and talk dirty to them.
After a pat down, introduced myself and shook the hand of an astonished TDA agent since we had been through such an intimate experience. 😏
I have done that on occasions and what you have said is ABSOLUTELY TRUE....They look at you with the "DUMBEST" look on their faces...😁😁😁😁😁😁
Have to say I loved it and was laughing. People were watching.
The industry term is 'fluffers'.
pick litters on the highway work.
Grind them up and render them into biofuel to burn in airplane engines. It's the only job they're suited for.
These peasants don't burn worth a damn. Bring me a Pharoah.
I was terrorized by them or sure. I don't know if I was on a list, or if they just pull over every woman that has a kid, but EVERY time I few with my toddler, I would get pulled over. I got yelled at by a TSA lady when I asked if, while standing idly around waiting for another agent to come over, if I could go grab my purse off the end of the conveyer so it wouldn't disappear. She yelled at me. She asked me if I wanted to leave my kid with a stranger (her) JUST TO GO GRAB YOUR PURSE? Like I was leaving her with a child molester so I could go get my purse. That's when I knew, they don't even trust themselves. She trusted herself less than she trusted someone who would have intentions of stealing my purse.
I also got pulled out, frisked, drew a crowd as TSA agents swarmed because they "found bomb residue" on my matcha powder package. People were videoing. My daughter cried and asked "are you arresting my Mom?" A TSA agent came over because we were crying (I lost it when she asked that). Trying to be like a victims advocate. I told her she'd cry too if she just left her 80 year old parents and then had all this happen.
They not only let me go at the end, ending the circus they created (they were also pulling all of my things and clothes out one. by. one. Holding them up. Looking at them. Looking for what? I don't know. ). As I walked away, the idiot TSA agent said "Do you want your matcha????" I wanted to yell "I thought it had bomb powder on it!!" but I was afraid the whole thing would start all over again with the word "Bomb" I yelled No, you keep it. Most stupid thing EVER.
Oh I would have gotten mad.
Huzzah!
Bless him.
Long overdue. It never should have been implemented and it violated the rights of all traveling citizens. It was instituted after TWA800, but still allowed 9/11 to happen? That told both those events were deep state ops.
I know that. You should have seen the groping. Shake head.
I want all my TSA/9-11 fees back!
I want them to pay for groping they did especially my little niece.
It wasn't long ago that someone introduced a bill to abolish the ATF. Haven't heard much about that lately.
True.
Oh please do. Doesn't seem to protect our borders anyway.
I vote for it right away.
Yes!
Amen.
Did he insert an amendment for thousands more lying dots to come here and be given great jobs that qualified Americans can do?
I never heard of that. Sauce please?
Now do Real ID.
I am wondering about that also. I have been very conflicted about that.
I read it as abolish TEA at first, very different but similar rebellion ha
LOL
