Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's security theater, just like the TSA you see at the airport do nothing. The real protection is hidden both at the airport and at the border.
Ain't nothing hidden at the airport. It's as secure as the bus
In general that's not true.
Reinforced cockpit doors.
Isolation of runways/terminals (yes incursions happen)
Habit tracing, and Id scanning upon entry. Gait analysis and license plate reading.
Air Marshalls (yes not on every flight)
Lots of shit that comes together to do a ton behind the scenes.
All means shit if someone puts their mind to it. TSA misses the majority of treat items.
TSA has nothing to do with anything I mentioned
Lol
Great response.
If you had any critical thinking you'd see how I was largely agreeing with the above...the TSA is theatre
Go spend a few years working in that industry. To call airport security a joke is to insult the field of comedy.
I have worked in sec tech 👋
But clearly no where near an airport. Gait tracking? Airports aren’t mission impossible.
👍
Lol TSA has a 95% failure rate but go on, I guess.
That’s what he was saying, TSA is not effective
I got through airport security with a knife in my carry-on. I was pretty unimpressed.
The TSA is a glorified welfare program. Know what keeps planes secure? Locked, sturdy cockpit doors. Not some asshole harassing you because your container of hair gel is too big and your nail clipper is too pointy.
