Our government is nothing but crooks. All of them. We all know that the shite that started this bullshite was 9-11. Now we have to pay for a card that allows you to go to work to make money to give back to them in taxes and other things. Not to mention, to pay for shite that government pushes, ie stimulus and other entitlements for people that don’t work.

My company pays for ours but I've always said, if I have a passport, why do I need a TWIC card? They both are the same background checks.

close.

until tax revenue = expenses that is missing the mark. they can say all they want that we need taxes to help pay for XXXX, but they spend more then they take in by a wide margin. they would still supply XXXX even without the tax

what the taxes are is control. they are trying to control and or penalize certain activities.....

The questions they ask during your TWIC application crack me up..."have you ever participated in international or domestic terrorism?"

I use to maintain a USCG captain’s license until the DHS took over and costs skyrocketed and requirements became too burdensome including the requirement for a TWIC.

Of course it is a money racket. Background check is a joke, it is all to make money. My company pays for mine for now, but I know at some point they are going to put it on us, as it is a requirement to enter our workplace.
Too much government BS.

Never had to pay for mine, but the good part is that now it gives you TSA pre-check automatically.

Sorry snowflake. Don't want a TWIC? Go work somewhere else.

Seems pretty silly to bitch and moan about something that actually increases your marketability.

Many government requirements are a racket.

Why do I need to pay the state to register a vehicle I have owned for years? So they can mail me a pretty little $45 sticker to put on my license plate?

The entire safety council program is a money grab. You’ll sit there all day to listen to OSHA tell you the rules, then listen to your company tell you the same rules then listen to (ex.) Exxon tell you the rules then listen to (ex.) Exxon in Baytown tell you the same rules as the last 3 classes you took...

And if you do turn-arounds you’re sitting through this 3-6 times a year.
