@arindube Says guy who has never worked in healthcare. Layers and layers of regulation over 50+ years. In NO SENSE has a free market even remotely been tried since at least medicare started. Employment tax incentives, state dependent, state insurance protections. Just to name ins regs

@jackvlloyd @Mountain_Troll_ Denying obvious consequences of polices bc you cant draw a direct line between the two doesnt mean the action isnt a consequence of the policy. Just means you want to deny that bc it implicates something you align with. You dont like horton bc you shill for zionists.

@GodfreeTrh @kniborg @KirkLubimov This breaks a lot of the assumptions behind success in China.

If America would embrace capitalism and reject cronyism

in health care, agriculture, military contracting, insurance, media, technology, and banking,

we would experience a renaissance unprecedented in human history.

I spent over three hours in a TSA line. Why haven't we abolished this agency? https://t.co/w0mC33FVko

@tigerjvideo Yeah which category do these libertarians fit into?

[TFTC @TFTC21]

The TSA has a 95% failure rate. Not 80%. Ninety-five.

In 2015, DHS sent 70 undercover agents through TSA checkpoints with fake bombs and weapons. 67 got through. That's a 95% failure rate.

One agent set off the metal detector, got the enhanced pat-down, and still had a fake explosive taped to his back that screeners missed. The TSA's response was to classify the test results so the public couldn't see them.

In 24 years, the TSA has not foiled a single terrorist plot or caught a single terrorist. Not one. Its $1 billion behavioral detection program identified exactly one person resembling a terrorist in two decades.

This agency costs $11.5 billion a year. It was created in response to 9/11, but 9/11 was not a failure of airport security. What actually made flying safe was reinforced cockpit doors and passengers who will no longer sit passively during a hijacking. Not the liquid ban. Not the shoe removal.

80% of European airports use private screening. Israel hasn't had a hijacking since 1968. 22 US airports already use private contractors and outperform TSA-screened airports.

Abolish the TSA. Replace it with the model that 80% of the developed world already uses.

[Abolish the TSA @Abolish_TSA]

If they'd gotten better, they'd be touting their improvement. Bragging about their success rate, even if imperfect.

Instead, all they say is 'those are old numbers'.

The partial government shutdown is revealing the folly of nationalized airport security in real time.

@squints_winked @ericmmatheny Quite charitable of you to attribute the lack of hijackings to an organization that has failed every security test performed. Couldnt possibly be bc everyone knows the passengers and crew would not comply

@JohnStrandUSA @realjoenusbaum @Abolish_TSA It’s happening!!

@chrismartenson How is this an unpopular opinion?

[Young Americans for Liberty @YALiberty]

"Let's put the federal government in charge of aiport security. It will be great. With an $11.5 billion budget, it will be world-class!"

In reality, this is what happens when you put the government in charge of anything:

@CoachForGov Why did you give up on your bill to AbolishTSA?

[Andrew Romeo @roawk]

@BillMelugin_ @Abolish_TSA

[Andrew Romeo @roawk]

@Abolish_TSA @Ella__Dorsey @ATLNewsFirst @GAFollowers @TSA Yeah i empathize. But even on a good day, everyone is still subjected to the whimsical attitudes of bureaucrats accountable to no one. As you said. It isnt security. It is theater. It is a humiliation ritual that everyone is brainwashed into accepting

[Andrew Romeo @roawk]

@SenKatieBritt @SenJohnKennedy But you want us to continue to suffer TSA while you get fast tracked? Stop shilling for incompetent federal bureaucrats. Bring back AbolishTSA

[Andrew Romeo @roawk]

@SenateGOP Where is this version of Senate Republicans? Bring this back

[Andrew Romeo @roawk]

@DHSgov No its time to end the department of homeland security.
