Would NOT be surprised if they were surveilling people like us who check handguns with our baggage when flying to/from free states. Or, surveilling known Trump supporters.
Last time I flew a loooong time ago I had a checked handgun and ammo all done up above and beyond the requirements needed the tsa did everything except run a camera up My A$$. When I got to My destination and got My luggage I opened the 48 Qt Igloo cooler full of Texas Peaches to get one and I knew it had been opened because the duct tape had been undone and sort of put back. Inside was the standard printed note from the T otaly S tupid A $$holes saying they had rifled through My baggage. There was an entire layer of Peaches missing.
I don’t fly anymore and I was Born and Raised into the Airline Industry and had been flying for 40+ years.
I’m DONE! If I can’t drive there I don’t need to go there.
