It's not. I fly out of MSY about 6 times a year. The line is usually so light I see no reason to get a TSA Pre Check.

You've never flown out on a Monday morning I see. Never have enough staff.

Apparently it's the Democrats in the Senate.

What I do not understand is TSA is an appropriations measure and appropriations fall under the Senate parliamentarian rules of "reconciliation" where only a simple majority (50+1) is required to pass a fiscal measure. There must be some GOP Senators like Collins and Murkowski joining the Dems in the Senate to hold this up.

Maybe I am. The tariffs were a f’ing joke


We got scammed by the tariffs and Trump handler Howard Lutnick's kids at Cantor Fitzgerald will make $100s of million on the scam.

Now the companies who paid tariffs are suing to get their tariffs back.

They passed the tariff costs on to customers and will now get the Feds to pay them tax dollars to make up for charging the customers more.

Dems are blocking funding for ICE in the wake of the violence that occurred in Minnesota. Republicans are not letting TSA funding be separated from the homeland security budget as a tactic to force ICE funding through

Basically it’s both parties fault….

I booked a flight last minute and flew out on a Friday last month.
All went well.
I was at the Tampa Bay airport for the return strip and it was crazy stupid. TSA was short staffed and one of their X-ray machines broke.
I know most don’t agree but I wish they would hire Hispanics. Legal or not.

If memory serves me correctly….I think the Dems are holding out until there is a provision that requires the removal of masks from ICE agents and they are to be appropriately identified.

In cases where importers sold their rights to tariff refunds to Cantor Fitzgerald for 20-30 cents on the dollar it will be Cantor Fitzgerald suing if necessary. It won't be necessary. ~$150 billion in refunds will be issued to importers and to the investment bankers that purchased the right to importers' refunds. It was the recent SCOTUS ruling that paved the way for refunds of tariffs paid by importers.

Just curious. When did you go to Tech? I’m trying to decide if we need to revoke your degree from our esteemed institution with these takes.

Seems like a local, not national, problem. If it was system wide, we'd be seeing many other reports like this.
