@DHSgov@TSA@TSA my wife and I are traveling today. We are grateful for all the TSA members and wish you every one of you God’s speed and a quick resolution to the current stalemate. Thank you for keeping us safe.
Let’s be real: mocking a guy for having a blue-collar background before rising through politics is peak late-night elitism. It’s the comedy equivalent of a trust-fund kid at a country club sneering at the guy who fixes the pipes so the champagne fountain keeps flowing. “Ew, he plunged toilets? How gauche! I only plunge... ratings, apparently.” Kimmel is the joke.
@SenateDems@SenateDems, you are full of it! Both parties are holding TSA agents and American citizens hostage! You ALL need to get your shit together and find a solution now!
Crowd control / line management: Helping organize long TSA lines and move people through faster
Manning exit lanes: Standing at secure exit points so TSA agents can be reassigned to screening
General logistics support: Giving directions, making announcements, managing passenger flow
Visible security presence: Standing guard / patrolling areas, which can deter issues and sometimes improve flow…
Yeah, just standing around.
It turns out that when the Democrats controlled the House, Senate and Presidency during Biden, 20 million illegal aliens entered the country. And now that Republicans are following the law and deporting said aliens, you want to blame them?! This shutdown would never have occurred without the Democrats. ICE wouldn’t be doing what they are doing. This crisis would not exist.
None of what they are doing is screening. They are helping with the surrounding logistics, not interfering with the screening process. They are doing ID checks at the beginning and are not involved in the actual screening process, nor are they “interfering” with the screening process. Just because a couple of people were identified as illegal aliens that had a 2019 order for removal from the US, and they were taken into custody, ICE agents in no way interfered with the TSA screening process or did TSA duties deemed only for trained individuals.
@PCadfael@honeywhite2023@NotAvgLiberal@PCadfael, where did you get that they cannot “interfere”?! Can you show me actual TSA policy or cross agency directives that point to this?! I’ll wait.
