@evitaduffy_1 Thank RINO George W. Bush for this Unionized Federal Beauraccy. I couldn't agree more TSA needs to go away.

I nearly missed my flight this morning after the TSA made me wait 15 minutes for a pat-down because I’m pregnant and didn’t feel like getting radiation exposure from their body scanner. The agents were passive-aggressive, rude, and tried to pressure me and another pregnant woman into just walking through the scanner because it’s “safe.” After finally getting the absurdly invasive pat-down, I barely made my flight. All this for an unconstitutional agency that isn’t even good at its job. Perhaps things would have gone more smoothly if I’d handed over my biometric data to a random private company (CLEAR). Then I could enjoy the special privilege of waiting in a shorter line to be treated like a terrorist in my own country. Is this freedom? Travel, brought to you by George Orwell—and the privilege of convenience based solely on your willingness to surrender biometric data and submit to radiation exposure? The “golden age of transportation” cannot begin until the TSA is gone.

@IanJaeger29 For perspective of the 37 trillion federal debt, if at its pinnacle Fort Knox held 20000 tons of gold at today's value of $3000 and ounce it is only 1 trillion 929 billion dollars worth of gold. $ 1,920,000,000,000.00. It seems we have spent ourselves into oblivion.
