    I used to have to take a TSA security test once a year for a biologics logistics position.

    Shit is fucking laughable at the very best! I’ve seen them use the explosive sniffer a grand total of one time in the many many times I’ve dropped packages off at the freight area. And I’m not talking about just my packages, I’m talking anyone’s package. And this was at not small airports ranging from MCO, FLL, MIA, PBI. All the way to CLT. They protect the actual tarmac better than the cargo hold. Oh and they occasionally let me drive on the tarmac a handful of times too. A civilian, often times in an unmarked van, with nothing more than a glance at my DL.

    Oh right, the US government is still partially shut down. Don’t really hear much about Congress trying to do anything about it these days.

    Disband the entire DHS, they don’t do shit and they fail repeatedly at what their stated goals are and they are redundant copies of agencies that already exist. In particular, every TSA and ICE personnel should be put to work repairing our pitifully degraded infrastructure.

    That won’t happen of course, because the purpose of DHS and it’s branch agencies is to put down domestic uprisings when the ruling class drives us into a series of existential crises.

    Just a hypothesis, but maybe it’s intentional and a false flag attack is on it’s way.

    Everything to get rid of the epstein files…
