The sad thing about this is that most Trump supporters probably don’t fly because either they’re always in their own bubble and/or can’t afford to. So they can’t relate to this, so it’s a non-issue sadly.

So they get to punish others for doing the things they choose not to do.
Again.
My coworker noped out of a trip across country because they’d have a grandchild with them, and didn’t want any issues with missing flights, long waits, or ICE shenanigans. If they didn’t have their grandchild, they probably would have taken the train instead.
Edit: more info
Oh yeah baby America is so back
I’ve only been to JFK once, but I get the sense that the lines there always look like this. Not saying all the other stuff isn’t an issue, but don’t give JFK any credit. Hands down the worst airport I’ve been to. Avoid at all cost.
The American electorate, truly the greatest in the world
Is there any other country on earth that stops working altogether once a year?
Only once a year? Are you talking about the US, because it seems to have stopped working quite some time ago.
Lol I was looking into this the other day. From what I understand it's to prevent too much power being with any one group in US govt ..
Short answer is no, most countries have rules that see public servants (govt. employees) paid even when a department's budget has not been agreed - for example Belgium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932011_Belgian_government_formation
Thank you. To give another example, in Italy it is necessary to approve the budget by 31st of December. If this doesn't happen the budget is controlled by the government but with limitations and only one month at a time. I think it's a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I think it’s a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I agree for most countries.
Why don't they just let people take their assault rifles onto the plane such that they can defend themselves? Are they stupid?
It's an airplane, not a grade school classroom.
I’d honestly just cancel my holiday instead going through that trauma.
people who think they can go though a US airport nowadays is a form of white entitlement
wife and i have to fly out of LGA in may to go to daughter’s wedding. not looking forward to the travel. sigh.
Yeah but.. Is America great again yet?
The greatest country on earth
Good thing the US has a high speed railway network like China, Japan, Europe or Morocco, so you don't need to get on a plane. Oh.. wait...
Looks like a freedom country chicken farm
Boy am I glad they're making sure a terrorist with a bomb can't get onto a plane to kill a lot of people packed together in a crowded place.
Terror is so easy to accomplish via random crowds and isolated unprotected infrastructure that it makes one wonder if any of it was really terror.
Can't blow up a plane if nobody can get onto the plane!

Blows up airport instead ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, that was the joke. lol
Well, that's not TSAs direct job, so they don't care.
They're called TSA, not G(round)SA or A(irport)SA or... for a reason!
TBH I wonder why it hasn’t happened yet. Imagine the loss of freedom 🇺🇸 🦅 once that happens
It has, in Belgium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_bombings Maybe it wasn't close enough to scare the 'muricans?
I'm honestly not too sure USAmericans believe in Belgium.
It's like global warming or some such.
I was sort of surprised that bombing didn't have more effects than it did. It really did seem to highlight some issues.
How about onion layers of security checks that start about a mile from your gate? That way the bad guys are only in the outer lines where passenger density is still low...
Tired of ~~waiting~~ winning yet?
Pleease Mr. President, no more winning!
Mr. President, it's too much winning!
A man came up to me once, big man, strong man, with tears in his eyes and said. Mister President we are ~~waiting~~ winning too much, please Mister President we are tired of ~~waiting~~ winning.
Yeah guys send the Gestappo. They fix everything
JFC
No, it's JFK
Woosh 😁
But sir, it appears that it is actually you that has been wooshed.
😭 plz help me understand
I was making a joke :D
I guess this is why /s is so prevalent these days, it's very easy to be wooshed.
Upon careful consideration I may also have been wooshed. I don't know what's going on.
This is probably not far off from what it's like to be at that airport right now.
I deliberately searched for this comment.
What? Why? What changed?
I think TSA isn’t getting paid so presumably they’re understaffed
Lol wtf
