Turning back the abuse of power which happened on Bush and Obama's watches should be on Trump's list of priorities.
According to the article, it seems that such abuses are going to intensify.

Until TSA is abolished or
sharply reined in, I can think of nothing important enough to get me on a commercial plane.
If driving there isn't an option, I simply won't go.

Like everyone else, I complied. What was my choice? I guess I could have turned back at the point, decline to take the flight I had paid for, but it would be unclear what would then happen.It's real clear what will happen next if "everyone else" complies. Which they don't.

If it stops criminals from flying or even captures one then it is worth it.

Was a retinal scan biometric done when the passport was issued, or are they systematically adding a biometric to existing passports?

Biometric data like that HAS to be akin to DNA. Should government be able to acquire that without a warrant?

Well comrade when they want to swab for a DNA profile or insert the chip in your wrist it looks like you will be a good little soldier.

Yes. Think of the effect on crime if at a push of a button they can match a drop of blood to a suspect name. Crime would go down drastically.

I have to show ID to get sudafed. Why shouldn’t technology be used to catch bad guys?

This need not be difficult. The airlines should be allowed to implement whatever form of security they deem necessary and appropriate. Including making people strip buck naked for inspection. Potential passengers can decide the level of risk-to-humilation ratio they are willing to pay for.
Enough of the Habuki theatre provided by the US government.
To: Georgia Girl 2
Illegals have been using someone else’s passport to get into the country. Without biometrics being added our current system is letting a lot of people in.

This is a minor inconvenience. Seems that it will stop bad guys from flying. The problem with security and psycho tropic drugs is when they actually work; in the former case it seems like a waste of time and then security gets lax and in the latter case the mental patient feels better, thinks they are cured and stops taking the drugs. Then they get sick again.

Once again, government looking to spend money on stuff they can already do.
Most of the problems are visa overstays, plain illegals, and such. Do workplace enforcement and go after the visa overstays, and this will work out without having implement the papers please lingo for everyone else.

You shouldn’t have to show ID to get Sudafed but that’s way down another path from retinal scanning, DNA collection and mark of the beast. Think!

That’s the excuse the tyrants always use to control everyone. Think!

Same here.
2 days drive to get to either coast.
It takes most of a day to travel by air, so adding a day to travel by car doest matter that much.
I value my freedom...
I will not comply,
I will not fly.
