This was always the plan. Replace TSA with ICE Gestapo. Remove unionized government workers and replace with “private” security force. (Loyalist brownshirts)

They can both fuck off. You want to save money? Get rid of TSA. Their failure rates are appalling.

Get rid of the patriot act and citizens united while you're at it.

So with a draft looking more and more likely every day, how soon do you think they'll be openly patrolling airports in order to keep Americans from escaping?

If you are a citizen then legally they can ask and you can decline, right?

Yeah, and they can ship you off to a concentration camp for a few months while your case crawls through the system.

Yes you can decline but they can also decline to let you through security since air travel isn't a right much like driving a car.

In fairness, the TSA ALSO checked IDs in security lines, that was the first thing they would do before you had to take off your belt and shoes and things.
