It's so hard for me to feel bad for the TSA.
They're working class just like you and me
You could say the same about cops, clowns, or car salesmen.
I feel for them from a class standpoint, but they are still doing a job that is discriminatory, steals from people frequently, invades privacy, and does not actually make flying significantly safer, considering how frequently they fail when tested. I'm sad that they are having to struggle, but that doesn't mean that I have to like them or respect the job they chose to do.
They're class traitors just like police and ICE
How so?
They're part of a federal security theater apparatus that regularly violates the 4th amendment in the name of "safety"
They’re workers at the end of the day. The problem is that the DHS is a right-wing jobs program and embezzlement scheme. These people should have been put to work repairing roads and bridges, expanding commuter rail, broadband, electrical infrastructure, etc.
Like is this what it's come to lol
Right? Like are we scraping the bottom so hard that I really have to feel bad for the TSA and side with fucking Iran on something?
TSA is annoying and invade your privacy, but they're not ICE levels of bad.
Yeah, but they're still "steal your shit while doing a job that they are statistically horrible at" bad.
The White House said ICE officers have been handing out water to travelers waiting in long security lines and offered to hold spots for those who need to step out of line temporarily.
Most lines I've been in, you can ask the people behind you to hold your space, we don't need special people for that.
Otoh, I'd rather they be water-handlers and line-sitters instead of out there murdering people, so ...
Trump suggested Wednesday he could deploy National Guard members to airports experiencing long wait times to assist as well. However, it’s unclear what role they could play in alleviating congestion due to understaffed TSA agents.
They could hand out water to people standing in long lines, and ...
Must feel so good as TSA member to work for free while thugs working for ICE getting top dollar to hand out water bottles. I'm sure that makes TSA workers work harder/s.
Womp womp
Okay.
Hope the DMV is hiring.
Probably have to read at a higher grade level for DMV.
I'm genuinely confused as to why they just don't stop showing up?
Sucks to suck you unskilled class traitors.
If they are paid for their blood or plasma, it's not a donation.
Oh that’s perfect because we’re going to need a lot of blood in the next few weeks
Yah, I'm not going to shed any tears for TSA agents.
