Boy am I glad they’re making sure a terrorist with a bomb can’t get onto a plane to kill a lot of people packed together in a crowded place.
Can’t blow up a plane if nobody can get onto the plane!

Blows up airport instead ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Well, that’s not TSAs direct job, so they don’t care.
They’re called TSA, not G(round)SA or A(irport)SA or… for a reason!
TBH I wonder why it hasn’t happened yet. Imagine the loss of freedom 🇺🇸 🦅 once that happens
It has, in Belgium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_bombings Maybe it wasn’t close enough to scare the 'muricans?
I’m honestly not too sure USAmericans believe in Belgium.
It’s like global warming or some such.
I was sort of surprised that bombing didn’t have more effects than it did. It really did seem to highlight some issues.
How about onion layers of security checks that start about a mile from your gate? That way the bad guys are only in the outer lines where passenger density is still low…
Start with Vehicle check points a mile from the airport
Good.
Yes, that was the joke. lol
Let’s concentrate all the people in one place so that they can’t bring weapons onto a plane. Nothing could go wrong…
Just a half dozen bags dropped off in the course of 10 minutes.
Terror is so easy to accomplish via random crowds and isolated unprotected infrastructure that it makes one wonder if any of it was really terror.
These are poor people, so the powers that be don’t care

Mr. President, it’s too much winning!
A man came up to me once, big man, strong man, with tears in his eyes and said. Mister President we are
waitingwinning too much, please Mister President we are tired ofwaitingwinning.
Good thing the US has a high speed railway network like China, Japan, Europe or Morocco, so you don’t need to get on a plane. Oh… wait…
I hear Elon Musk is getting right on that. These conservatives are so efficient and successful! Good thing we keep finding new tax breaks for them.
Why don’t they just let people take their assault rifles onto the plane such that they can defend themselves? Are they stupid?
It’s an airplane, not a grade school classroom.
You dont give up your right to free speech when you get on a plane, why around you give up the right to bear arms?

Is there any other country on earth that stops working altogether once a year?
Lol I was looking into this the other day. From what I understand it’s to prevent too much power being with any one group in US govt …
Short answer is no, most countries have rules that see public servants (govt. employees) paid even when a department’s budget has not been agreed - for example Belgium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010–2011_Belgian_government_formation
Thank you. To give another example, in Italy it is necessary to approve the budget by 31st of December. If this doesn’t happen the budget is controlled by the government but with limitations and only one month at a time. I think it’s a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I think it’s a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I agree for most countries.
The other option is if they fail to pass a budget, it triggers an automatic no confidence vote.
Only once a year? Are you talking about the US, because it seems to have stopped working quite some time ago.
The sad thing about this is that most Trump supporters probably don’t fly because either they’re always in their own bubble and/or can’t afford to. So they can’t relate to this, so it’s a non-issue sadly.
So they get to punish others for doing the things they choose not to do.
Again.
They don’t fly because God invented the car, Jesus built the highways and St Peter gave republicans the car keys.
Why share a plane with other Americans when you can just drive around, as god intended ?
To be fair, road trips ARE a thing, and it’s not just because of cost and random religious factors. Sometimes seeing the countryside is really cool in addition to the destination’s reason.
Looks like a freedom country chicken farm
Your get what you voted! Enjoy your fucking war.
I’d honestly just cancel my holiday instead going through that trauma.
wife and i have to fly out of LGA in may to go to daughter’s wedding. not looking forward to the travel. sigh.
people who think they can go though a US airport nowadays is a form of white entitlement
Just wait in the line like a grown up. You can do it!
did you mean Trump JFK Airport?
I wish he got an airport award!
I just created the “Me, I think he deserves an airport award” award and I’m honored to…
Anyway, squirrel!
Yeah but… Is America great again yet?
The American electorate, truly the greatest in the world
I’d much rather have Camacho as the president. At least he knew that he should trust people smarter than him.
Camacho was a great president. I submit the following:
-
When faced with a problem he didn’t know how to solve, he appointed the best person he could find and listened to their advice.
-
Upon realizing that he made a mistake, he reversed course and corrected.
-
I don’t think he ever raped a minor.
Cudos for being a dumbass but not a pedo (to Camacho not to you 😅)
Oh I will be the first to admit I’m a dumbass but not a pedo!
Kudos to you as well friend!
Good to have no pedos around. Us dumbasses have to stick together
Ideal politician tbh. Charismatic and engages the people he represents. Defers to, and it’s his support behind this that are more competent in their subject matter.

Yeah guys send the Gestappo. They fix everything
There are several terminals with security checkpoints, this does not represent “JFK Airport” as a whole. This shown terminal is T5, JetBlue’s terminal.
Edit: who downvoted, lol. I’ve been to JFK 4 times this week. Nothing I said is untrue. It literally says Jetblue check in on the sign. Go pound sand.
Have you visited the other terminals as well? Are they significantly better and this is an outlier, or is this typical peak hours for jfk right now?
Yes. Though I obviously didn’t tour the airport looking for problems. Delta’s was long but not awful. AA’s was relatively short. Didn’t see the international terminal. No idea what constitutes “peak”, but NY is heading into NY school’s spring break season, so things will get busy for the airports.
JFC
No, it’s JFK
Jesus Fucking Khrist
Woosh 😁
But sir, it appears that it is actually you that has been wooshed.
😭 plz help me understand
I was making a joke :D
I guess this is why /s is so prevalent these days, it’s very easy to be wooshed.
Well I tried to do a joke too, JFK => JFC jesus fucking christ 😅
Looks like we share the same brain cell, just opposite polarity xD
Upon careful consideration I may also have been wooshed. I don’t know what’s going on.
This is probably not far off from what it’s like to be at that airport right now.
I deliberately searched for this comment.
JFC it’s JFK! F dat, gonna go to KFC.
