Dear Elon: While you're at it, please de-fund the TSA!

 

Dear Elon: While you're at it, please de-fund the TSA!

      It's been interesting to watch our new DOGE in action, happily de-funding soft targets such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau but also money-pit pork-barrel targets like foreign aid to bad guys, the EPA, our poorly-run post office and that ever-unpopular "teach to the test".  Don't get me wrong here.  In many cases, de-funding America's bureaucratic blob is actually a good idea.  

     However.  

      Musk never seems to get around to de-funding his own boondoggles -- and of course no self-preserving politician ever touches the CIA, Homeland Security, Endless War, corporate personhood, Zionists, our security-state octopus or the Federal Reserve.  No political third-rails are ever involved here.  Business as usual.  Whatever.

      But there is one particular federal agency that I sincerely would love our Elon to de-fund immediately -- the TSA!  Of course Mr. Musk himself only travels around in private jets and I betcha dollars to donuts that he has never been forced to stand around drafty airports for hours, waiting like cattle to be forced through all those TSA checkpoints.  However, the rest of us simple hoi poloi are forced to do it all the time.  Humph.

     I just got back from Palestine.  Getting there and back was a whole bunch of hard work.  We're talking an approximate total of sixty (60) hours spent either in the air or waiting around airports.  Inflight movies helped a little but still....  All those shoe removals and X-ray machines and wrangling my luggage onto TSA conveyor belts at airports in San Francisco, Doha, Amman (twice), Ankara, Lisbon and Dublin?  Seriously?

     Elon, help!

     Have President Trump fire the TSA's arse!  Pleeze.

     And why do we even have a TSA in the first place?  Because a few crazy guys with box cutters were able to hijack an entire airplane?  Box cutters?  Seriously?  "Either fly this plane into a building or I will cut your pilot to shreds...."  And with just a few simple box cutters, a handful of hijackers were able to subdue a pilot, a co-pilot, six flight attendants and 250 passengers?  I have a bridge to sell you, America.  

     And our water bottles are now a national security risk too?  They even made me throw away my yogurt.  What?  I'm gonna blow up a plane with a half-pint of strawberry Yoplait?  And don't even get me started on the time that they made me throw out my eggnog.  And what is so horribly dangerous about men's belts?  What's the danger there?  That their pants will fall down?

     The MBT (Make Billionaires Trillionaires) club that has run America since 9-11 just wants us to be afraid.  They just want us to sit down, shut up and politely accept their all-seeing Big Brother security state.  And we do.

     But getting rid of the TSA might be a baby step in a more happy direction, Mr. DOGE.  Pleeze.
