quote:

Senator Mike Lee called for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to be abolished on Monday, a proposal that would change the way Americans travel.


quote:

Lee, a Utah Republican, argued that the agency should be dissolved in a post to X, formerly Twitter.


quote:

"It's time to abolish the TSA," he wrote. "Airlines can and will secure their own planes if a federal agency doesn't do it for them. They'll do it better than TSA, without undermining the Constitution and with less groping—showing more respect for passengers. Share if you agree."


quote:

Lee offered few details about how such a program would be implemented, including if there would be national security standards, or if each airline could set its own policies.

That’s fantastic. Sadly, I can’t see it going anywhere.

I’m in a lot of airports.

These employees are DMV level.

Rude a lot of times and slow.

Good riddance.

But how will the government keep us safe without low wage workers half assing their jobs.

Idk — I’ve serious doubts about that given how hard in the paint airlines have gone for DEI and the resulting catastrophes that has caused…

If it's a straight repeal, then it should go back to how it was prior to the TSA.

It won't happen though. The Civil Service Union has deep pockets and long arms. Also, governments are just like a living organism and any living organism's primary drive is to continue to live.

Just tell them that the excess funding can be earmarked for their pockets via Ukraine and I bet it passes without dissent.

TSA isn't where we need to start with abolishing of agencies. Would not even put them in the top 5.

There will be more employees per airline than TSA currently has in total, because it's the only way to ensure each and every gender is appropriately represented when passing through a security check. Xe,Xer,Xerxes will NOT be screened by Ze, Zu, Zeus!
