If they sent them to the border, would they catch any weapons going through?

What an insult to our intelligence as a nation.

The govt is allowing the illegals that Obama is spreading around the country to bypass TSA and be put directly on commercial airliners.

Compare that lack of consideration to a privately run grocery store or bookstore. When long lines develop in those places, most of the time new check-out clerks are added rather quickly. The market responds!

Except Walmart with its 33 check out lanes and 5 regular and one express lane open.

A line forming at each of the open registers is not a reason to open another line. It's a reason for one of them to turn of the light and go on break.

I’m disabled and use a crutch sometimes a wheelchair and that’s what I have to go thru at the airport every time.

Not just “Thousands Standing Around”, but most of them are “Too Stupid for Arby’s”

I have been working in various security positions in the military/police and security worlds for over 35 years and have never seen a more overbearing, incompetent group of mouth breathing idiots

They make me wish idiocy and ignorance was painful so we could all watch them writhe in agony in the pretty blue sacks that contain their stupid.

‘A line forming at each of the open registers is not a reason to open another line. It’s a reason for one of them to turn of the light and go on break.’

Was in a Walmart when that happened to me. She was checking out the guy in front of me and turned off her light. She then told me she was on break and I said you are checking him out, so why not me? No, break time, she said. I said you are the cashier, right? She said, yes. I said now you are the stock girl too. I left my cart load on her table and walked out.

I left went to Sam’s Club coughed up a hundred bucks for the top of the line membership and now do my shopping there and the meds I have to have cost half what they did at Walmart. I know it is part of Walmart but the service and prices and quality is just better. I drive 30 miles total vs 3 miles for Walmart, but I will not go back.

“TSA is the gold standard of airline security.”

Too bad we are living in a platinum world....

We have done the same with local stores that have closing times of 8 or 9, but you get there at 7:59, and they hang up the sign and lock the door. If I were manager, they’d be fired. A closing time is a guide for a business wanting to do business. If there is a customer, then my store would not be closed until there were no more customers. The employees would, of course, be paid for that extra time.

We stopped going to a local ice cream establishment with a drive up window. How hard is it at a drive through to fill another cone or 2?

That would be racist to screen the noble illegal aliens.

Your comparison of a checker going on break and a store closing on time is apples and oranges.

If you know the store closes at 8 and you show up to shop at 7:59 (by your watch, maybe not theirs) then you are an ass.

I live in Maine.

At my local WalMart here, if your groceries are unloaded on the checkout table or conveyor belt, and the checker is ready to go on break, they’ll say “You’re OK” as they turn off the light above the register and then proceed to ring up your order after they’re down with the person in front of you. After your order is rung up and loaded into the cart, that’s when they will go on their break.

Your cashier was rude.

And as everyone is doing all this flying around, just think, an illegal alien transported by DHS might have been on the last flight with various diseases including scabies with the mites having a party in the cushion you are sitting on.

Chain or grocery stores don’t always have that option. Department managers are given a strict number of hours to spread among their employees. Overtime at time and a half is to be avoided. One place I worked as a teen required us to have all equipment cleaned and the floor scrubbed by closing time where you punched out exactly on the hour. One person coming in at 7:59 when you close at 8 means you have to re-mop the floors and have to work later unpaid. You can run your business however you wish, but not every business has the option of flexible closing times.

At first, I mistook the author for Cleon Skousen. He was the author several conservative books. Wikipedia says he died in 2006. RIP.
