    telling travelers “Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government” and claiming that is why “most of our TSA employees are working without pay.”

    Honestly the TSA shouldn’t exist, it’s a graft and corruption scheme created by the Bush Jr administration so guys like Michael Chertoff could steal taxpayer money.

    They can’t even perform their stated functions, there have been numerous instances of them failing to detect firearms and bomb parts during tests, they fail the majority by a wide margin.

    It’s a “make-work” program. Those people should be building hospitals in rural communities, fixing roads and bridges. At least that would have a return on investment.

    Same with ICE, and the entire DHS, frankly.

      The day I saw you could pay to get expressed through the TSA lines was the day it became 100% apparent it was nothing more than a grifting scheme.
