TSA has nothing to do with security. And that is intentional, IMO.
This is all about intimidation of innocent US citizens. With the goal of further down the line including more draconian surveillance and intimidation. National ID papers, checkpoints in public areas, and such.
TSA is now going after people entering commuter trains. Only a fool would think it’s not going to continue to escalate.
Their goal is to eliminate the right of free movement about our own country.
The TSA is rapidly becoming our Gestapo.
Now they’re conducting surveillance within the country. Actually, I can and have stopped flying because of the humiliation I refuse to endure by them. However, I am experiencing a vast schadenfreude when Congress-critters, who pretty much have to fly, are getting the treatment when it was they who authorized the TSA thuggery in the first place.
