They aren't the same. TSA agents do an actual job. ICE Apes are just Thugs. Of course MAGA would stiff the workers, and pay the Stormtroopers.

Edit: Ask yourself: Would you get on a plane that hasn't had every person and bag inspected? Not me. So who is going to do that?

I'll take the planes that were screened by people who are already trained and experienced, and who haven't allowed any successful hijackings in America following 9/11. The process may be slightly inconvenient, but not nearly as inconvenient as my plane coming apart mid-flight, and trying to figure how to fly, or evolve wings, as I plunge the next 30,000 feet.

TSA agents do an actual job.

And that job is security theater.

TSA do not have a job either…
