The TSA has a 95% failure rate. Not 80%. Ninety-five. In 2015, DHS sent 70 undercover agents through TSA checkpoints with fake bombs and weapons. 67 got through. That's a 95% failure rate. One agent set off the metal detector, got the enhanced pat-down, and still had a fake explosive taped to his back that screeners missed. The TSA's response was to classify the test results so the public couldn't see them. In 24 years, the TSA has not foiled a single terrorist plot or caught a single terrorist. Not one. Its $1 billion behavioral detection program identified exactly one person resembling a terrorist in two decades. This agency costs $11.5 billion a year. It was created in response to 9/11, but 9/11 was not a failure of airport security. What actually made flying safe was reinforced cockpit doors and passengers who will no longer sit passively during a hijacking. Not the liquid ban. Not the shoe removal. 80% of European airports use private screening. Israel hasn't had a hijacking since 1968. 22 US airports already use private contractors and outperform TSA-screened airports. Abolish the TSA. Replace it with the model that 80% of the developed world already uses.

GOP senators discussing funding DHS minus ICE immigration enforcement for now - pending a final agreement with Dems on more details Then Rs discussing a second GOP-only bill w/ more ICE $ and some pieces of the SAVE America Act, according to three people — likely including $ for ballot security and potentially incentivizing more states to enact voter ID many other pieces of the GOP elections overhaul bill Trump is pushing Senate to pass won't meet muster with the Senate’s rules for a filibuster-skirting bill — and Senate Rs know this

NEW: Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) says he is a hard no on any DHS deal that allows ICE’s deportation wing to go unfunded, as is reportedly being discussed as a framework. “This doesn’t make any sense with me. Democrats shut down the government cause they want to give amnesty to illegals. I don’t agree with that. They don’t want to fund the part that protects Americans from illegal aliens committing crimes?“ He went on to call plans to fund ICE through a reconciliation package a “pipe dream” and says he will be a no vote if this deal comes before the Senate.

Democrat Jason Crow tries to gaslight voters, claiming Democrats didn't shut down DHS. CROW: Republicans “are in control of every element of government.” Yes, and virtually every Republican voted to fund DHS, while almost every Democrat voted to shut it down.
