I was at the airport this morning on the mess. Saw the ICE agents. They aren’t helping with TSA from what I could see They were walking around and present but weren’t at any security checkpoint or anything else


They are going to take over the non-screening jobs TSA does at airport. Passenger flow, entry and exit points, etc.

The outrage from the libs on social media over this is outstanding.


Well post some of it for the rest of us to enjoy.

You mean it's all a show like the National Guard troops who just stand around in the quarter all day?

They can't check bags or body screen travelers but they can help with line management and ID checks. That will take TSA agents off those jobs and into more bag/body screenings improving line times.

Thats kind of the point. ICE isn't working security checkpoints. They are doing all the other random shite TSA agents have to do to free up TSA agents to work the checkpoints.



Name some of the random shite you speak of

TSA agents will move you into random lines which make the flow faster. They also help with exiting through. ICE agents don't need training to do that.

They weren’t answering questions or helping the line at all. They were literally just looking at lines. Only people helping were MSY staff in green shirts

Why don’t they just transfer the TSA agents to ICE and pay them? Problem solved

I would have given them a handjob if they actually helped with the lines


They are helping with the lines by freeing up TSA workers to be on the lines. This isn't secret info. It is publicly stated reason for them being there.

Neither am I but I can say "ID Please" and "Place your phone/boarding pass on this machine." Also I can wave people through the metal detector.

The X-ray machine and testing luggage for drugs would be a different story.

Anyway, I can see how ICE could help.

I believe that's called "virtue signaling."

Glad we're paying them money to *checks notes* walk around and look at the lines


So serious about mass deportations that they had to double the amount of ICE agents.

Also, there's enough ICE agents available to go dick around at the airports around the country.

Government efficiency at it's finest!

Maybe our airports won’t be all out war zones with ICE there now.

People need to feel it’s safe enough to go to the airport and fly again. This is a big step in the right direction.


What on earth are you talking about?

People on this board can be the biggest fricking cowards.

That guy just said in another thread that he's never left Louisiana. He has no clue what he's talking about. It's like he thinks airports (or any public transit really) are full of dangerous illegal darkies waiting to rape your wife and steal your wallet

ICE being deployed to do TSA's job instead of just...paying TSA.

We love our police state, don't we folks?

Their job isn't to answer questions.

Second, they're going to be doing more detailed jobs once they put a plan in place. They literally just got there a few hours ago.

I can't understand the "owning of the libs" obsession, Gas in high, steak prices are through the roof, but we sure showed them libs
