    Not a single person of the 77 million who voted for Grump OR the idiots who didn’t bother voting are ever going to get one IOTA of sympathy from me Fuck each and every single one of them all. Enjoy your abject poverty and job loss. I’ll enjoy laughing at you.

    To be fair, fuck the goddamn TSA in the neck with a red hot poker. If Musk had abolished them on Day One he would be heralded as a hero.

    Ya know, I’m fine with this one. TSA doesn’t protect or stop anything. It’s all security theatre.

      To be fair the TSA is just a federal jobs program and the workers are at least better off than if they worked for a private company doing the same thing. But that probably last too long under Trump. Then the TSA will be shuttered, replaced with private companies and AI the workers turned into contractors with no health benefits.

      Hey man, the number of major terrorist attacks the TSA has stopped is non-negative!

      Edit: wait, they haven’t caused any, have they?

    My experience with the employees leads me to believe that they may not be our best and brightest.

    I’d like to say that I’m surprised, but I am not.

      Right?

      I’m a big supporter of normal unions - but “unions” for government thugs feel different. We all know the police union only exists to keep cops away from consequences, I’m sure the airport security theater thugs were in a similar boat.

      TSA is one of the biggest boondoggles in recent history. I have never set foot in one of those fucking scanners (which have NEVER prevented a terrorist attack) and I never will, I have made them pat me down every time until I figured out another shortcut to get around the whole thing. If everyone had done that at the start we could have nipped the whole fucking thing in the bud and maybe saved another shred of our disappearing liberty. Instead we have… this. gestures wildly around in all directions

          No, it has nothing to do with special access of any kind. I wish I could tell but if enough people do it, they’ll catch on. And I’m tired of being molested every time I fly. I’ll give you a small hint, I discovered it when I had a surgery that had my arm in a sling for a while and I had to fly, so I was physically unable to use their stupid fucking scanner machine even if I wanted to.

    Guy with long, storied history of hating unions destroys unions. Like did they even try to think about their decision?

      Same. Every time I have to get a pat down because I won’t step into their fucking machine, I consider it government molestation. Fuckers.

      edit: I am not trying to minimize whatever happened to you, sorry if my comment comes across that way.
