Abolish the TSA…

What if you go thru the line with a full bladder, after downing a “couple” of beers at the airport bar…? Just asking… uh… for a friend..
They look passengers over and take what they want.
I can name at least six of the Alphabet Agencies that America would be better off without. They are either non-functional or corrupt or both.
Where’s the stack of pocket knives?
And fingernail clippers
The TSA is about Security Theater not actual security.
Actual security would focus its efforts on high risk individuals intensively not divert efforts to equal attention to blue haired 80 year old grandmothers and to young male Muslims. When the risk is differential, the focus should be differential. Intelligence 101.
I traveled a lot since the creation of tsa and have personally witnessed the cruel treatment of the elderly and disabled with public strip searches and humiliation by tsa workers. While also seeing these same workers give their fellow muslims a free pass without any inspection through security. After seeing this and experiencing mistreatment by tsa myself at multiple airports, I refuse to fly ever again. Other than filing a lawsuit, there has never been any action by the airports or tsa when a complaint was made.
The TSA has never caught a terrorist trying to smuggle a bomb onto a plane, and no terrorist has ever successfully smuggled a bomb onto a plane in the US. Which means that no terrorist has EVER TRIED to smuggle a bomb onto a plane in the US.
Not to worry America, over paid congressional idiots will save you from the boogeyman!
I feel much safer knowing I won’t body lotioned or toothpasted to death on my flight…
Have not been on a flight since 2008. Never plan to fly again unless it’s private. The TSA “feeling up” customers has hurt the airline business in ways they will never know!
Sadly, individual boycotts such as yours, as noble as they may be, will never affect airlines as long as the air carriers are subsidized by the US government.
What great detectives, we need these blood hounds at the boarder, hell with the airports….. the real danger is at our boarders…
Once the airlines crash (no pun intended) because of lack of pilots, staff, and lousy service, TSA will be gone!
So…..If these were actually explosives, what exactly is the point of collecting them and tossing them in a trash can? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? Having an explosion in the “security” area of the airport would cause just as much devastation as on a plane!
“Sorry Sir, you cannot take that explosive liquid on the plane. Please throw it in the trash can here with the others”.
Easily a robot could take the place of 5 TSA staff and make the whole process more efficient!
we dont need robots either
Them and Homeland thugs!
A few years back, before the Chinese flu that Fauci helped create then makes millions on “correcting” destroyed our country – my wife and I took my 80 yr old mother-in-law to Vegas!
Having had both her knees replaced and a letter from Dr. in hand, she was pulled out of line and frisked with both arms up in air, legs spread – no lie. Did I say 80 yrs old!?
Because the left will not allow us to profile – these are the results.
I followed her over to the area where she was being patted down (while my wife is telling me to stay put) and snapped a couple of pix of this happening UNTIL the TSA person shut me down from doing so – as if they had the right to tell me not?
For Christmas, Dorothy got a framed pix of her attempt to smuggle bad things on to an airplane.
Larger and larger government is never the answer.
If we want to keep our citizens “safe” – close our boarder.
110,000 deaths to drugs last year with most coming over southern boarder Mr. Biden.
TSA=Thugs Standing Around.
Tolerating Sexual Assault
I am female and a female agent digitally raped me.
I wish I weren’t serious.
Never had issues with Middle East nations until the creation of Israel, which is exactly what George Marshall, Truman’s secretary of defense warned if he were to recognize Israel. Truman probably stole his 1948 election too!
Ever heard of the Barbary pirates?
Really reaching there, aren’t you?
Yes, they certainly are assault snow globes. Very dangerous.
So nice of the TSA to save us from the explosive versions of Petroleum Jelly and peanut butter. Sigh.
Are those Assault Snow Globes?
There’s an alarming number of snow globes…… Those things are deadly
But most of it is just water bottles and drinks that people forgot they had . The rest of the stuff is from people who don’t fly or don’t speak English
The bigger question is….. How many of them were threats? Absolutely zero
Where are the environmentalists? 🤷♀️Been wondering this since it’s inception- when you had to throw away your plastic water bottle on one side and have to purchase another one on the other… What a waste! More theater 🎭
Stupid effeminate leadership is what is not suss-tainable.
Tell me how does a convicted felon get a position with the TSA? I know someone who is a convicted felon and works in the TSA.
Ban all snow globes……NOW
about 30 government agencies must be abolished, energy, education, Obamacare etc… every federal agency closed reduces $1trillion off the debt
And reduces the bloated federal workforce.
Abolish the IRS. They are a criminal extortion operation
TSA is just another lame government agency commissioned to solve a people that the people didn’t want to deal with.
Not to mention it violates our right to illegal search and seizure
My favorite airplane boarding: I presented my pistol to the agent (before TSA, the agents checked). I opened the case and pulled out the gun. A man standing behind the female agent suddently grew a surpised fear expression and quickly left the area (this was the second day after planes were allowed just after 911). I showed the agent that the revolver was empty and I signed the paper.
Another time (before the TSA). I finished some work in Las Vegas and went to board a plane to Reno. I presented the pistol to the ticket agent. She said, “I don’t know why you want to register the gun, everybody else seems to have them on the plane.” I surmisd that the guys in front of me were Marshals in training. The only fear I had on the flight was that of being accidently shot in a cross-fire.
I can think of hundreds of federal agencies I would abolish or trim or reform before the TSA which has an ostensibly necessary function. How about the Department of Education, the FBI, or the EPA?
D of E and EPA for sure. The latter should only be ADVISORY to the Congress, as only Congress can make law! But let’s face it – – – TSA really has grown too big.
But the TSA is the largest fraud. Toddlers have to remove their shoes, but let the burka pass. Grandmothers with hip replacements are being groped but TSA won’t let you bring the eye wash solution for contacts >4 oz. Theft in checked baggage is up. And with all of this, random security checks still get weapons through when they want to. Just a fraud.
The tsa does NOT provide any necessary function
I would be surprised if the TSA has ever stopped a terrorist event.
The events of September 11th are well known. Our intelligence agencies are the real terrorists.
What necessary function do you imagine that TSA serves?
Yup. Why the redundancy of Fed bureaucracies when we already have state ones set up? Maybe so they can tax us more so they can steal more?
Alphabet soup agencies , unelected leaders and given to much power. Most actually hate America.
and all acts like they supreme. They hate all of us
….and the NEA, PBS, CPB, FBI, CIA, Office of Surgeon General, and so on.
IRS, DOJ, DOS, DOT, DOE, EPA….
They have too much power!
The Security should go back to the
the individual Carrier!
If you have failed at, or been fired from EVERYTHING you have ever tried to do, are a sociopath , have been a bully since kindergarten, come from a foreign non assimilating culture, and get aroused harassing elderly people and innocent children… There is a rewarding career waiting for YOU at TSA.gross.
it seems many of you have forgotten those one way planes that landed on buildings… no events like that since (I think). let them focus on the little stuff and the big and keep our planes safe
Yes sir, that’s the TSA! Keeping “the homeland” safe 3.5 ounces at a time!
Do you REALLY think that any/all catastrophic airline events have been prevented since 9/11 because the TSA was illegally foisted upon us?
If so, sir, I have a bridge I’d like to discuss with you. But before doing so, I’ll need to see proof that you have received your mRNA shots and all supporting boosters!
Now out of how many of those are actually potentially dangerous?
Of what you see? Zero. If any were, they would show it off like a prize
Close this idiocy of the TSA… I have traveled for the past 5 years with a Stanley knife in my hand luggage and they NEVER detected it…. but they confiscate your drinking water so that the airport vendors can sell you a 300% bottle of water???? what a ridiculous charade at our expense
I don’t fly much, but when I do I take an empty water bottle through and fill it up at the water fountain once through security.
I’ve flown twice with a large folding knife tucked away in a backpack that I hike with, both times by mistake because I forgot it was there, and neither time was it discovered. It’s so reassuring to know they are confiscating snow globes though, one of them could break mid-flight and make a horrible mess!
TSA short for Thousands Standing Around.
Touching Sensitive Anatomy
Thugs
TSA are a bunch of ignorant azzes working at a non-essential job. They do nothing but make travel miserable. Maybe that’s their real purpose.
Have a liability insurance policy requirement to board a plane with the premium based on past criminal record and background check. That will weed out most if the trash and the fist fights, and you can do away with this silly crap. Unlike guns, boarding a plane isn’t a constitutional right.
Why are we letting our govt do what airlines should be responsible for
Because the “bailouts” via Obama, gov owns the airlines. Gaining control of transportation- just one of the ten planks of Communist takeover. They have nailed down about six so far.
ALL THESE FED GOVT bloated ineffective AGENCIES NEED TO GO, or at the minimum CUT THEM DOWN TO a third of the size or less & reform them. Think of the $$$$ saved!
They took my assault peanut butter! We’re safe now.
