Its amazing we put something worse in airports then the fucking TSA

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 55 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

TSA ain't so hot either, they harassed billions of people, make airports miserable, and literally caught 0 terrorists. The underwear bomber and shoe bomber both made it to their planes. Go find a real job or just volunteer at your local nonprofit

"It takes six months to train a Transportation Security Officer" i-cant

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Three months of that is learning to touch someone's balls with the back of your hand the right way

[–] BearerOfPickles@hexbear.net 21 points 4 days ago

Failing flight enshitification school because you accidentally keep cupping the balls and winking like an idiot

Hey, patting me down because my back pocket crumpled up and patting my buddy down because he did not know English too good is hard work.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

The other three months of training is just understanding this chart us-foreign-policy

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

You see learning the ins and out of phrenology to determine who is or isn't middle eastern is very difficult, so many variables that a caliper can't account for racist-lorry-driver

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 59 points 4 days ago

heartbreaking, worst people you know complain about scabs

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 57 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Can anyone explain to me how this isn't a spiderman pointing at spiderman situation?

Obviously ICE is waaay worse but I can't see the TSA as much different, just another post 9/11 agency that's only ever served the ruling class

[–] free_casc@hexbear.net 47 points 4 days ago (1 children)

TSA works on behalf of the department of homeland security, but they are not law enforcement officers. They have the same legal authority as mall cops (so technically not cops).

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

Because they have cop union, thus democracy now wing is sympathetic

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 40 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You know they could just say ahhh never mind were getting rid of the security theatre agency and firing 90% of them and you can walk your loved ones to the gate again.

[–] BearerOfPickles@hexbear.net 24 points 4 days ago

Nothing that cool and good will ever be allowed to happen. They're just adding an intermission to the security theatre. But inshallah you're right

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 52 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Aside from everything else, it is such a worse disaster waiting to happen to have ICE there than even just nothing. Like, all of a sudden there are just a buncha people wandering through airports with rifles and (I assume) access to secure areas? It can't be that hard to get/make a ICE POLICE tag to put on a plate carrier. Is anyone really looking that close at this point? scared

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 47 points 4 days ago

ICE is notoriously lax on the identification front too. This is gonna make it even easier for bad actors to impersonate an agent and get to the secure side lol.

At least you used to have to get a job with an airline or the TSA.

A bunch of people who are seemingly even more eager to murder non white people and "the libs" than the average American cop, if one can imagine such a thing.

These chuds are going to do so much drug trafficking

[–] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

finally, something useful.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago

I can't believe this isn't satire.

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 39 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Commercial air hijackings are coming back.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

jdpon don ending the tsa so the rebels can throw airplanes at them again.

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

nyp march 18

is it a coincidence?? or maybe a psyop to lay groundwork for false flag or provoked action on behalf of Palestine?

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

She rocks so much.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

that's the only way this makes any actual sense to me. why else would they publicly and dramatically drop the pretense like this, it's not like they need this tiny bit of copper right now.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Its that hat I like

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 27 points 3 days ago
  1. you're TSA, fuck you

  2. you're TSA, can't you just put the ICE goons on the no-fly list as soon as you learn their names and ruin their lives forever?

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 33 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They finally made a jobs program for Nazi NEETs

[–] regul@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I flew out of Phoenix the other day and they had ICE at the checkpoint checking IDs and supervising the baggage scanners.

I didn't think beforehand what the correct response to them was, so I just avoided eye contact and did not speak to them.

They were unmasked, which was novel, and tried to be buddy-buddy with me, a white dude.

The true white man's burden is having to deal with the shittiest hogs thinking you're one of them.

Pot calls kettle black
