      They’re workers at the end of the day. The problem is that the DHS is a right-wing jobs program and embezzlement scheme. These people should have been put to work repairing roads and bridges, expanding commuter rail, broadband, electrical infrastructure, etc.

        You could say the same about cops, clowns, or car salesmen.

        I feel for them from a class standpoint, but they are still doing a job that is discriminatory, steals from people frequently, invades privacy, and does not actually make flying significantly safer, considering how frequently they fail when tested. I’m sad that they are having to struggle, but that doesn’t mean that I have to like them or respect the job they chose to do.

        Right? Like are we scraping the bottom so hard that I really have to feel bad for the TSA and side with fucking Iran on something?

          TSA is annoying and invade your privacy, but they’re not ICE levels of bad.
