Otoh, I'd rather they be water-handlers and line-sitters instead of out there murdering people, so ...

Must feel so good as TSA member to work for free while thugs working for ICE getting top dollar to hand out water bottles. I'm sure that makes TSA workers work harder/s.

They're part of a federal security theater apparatus that regularly violates the 4th amendment in the name of "safety"

Oh that’s perfect because we’re going to need a lot of blood in the next few weeks
