Yeah, pig unions deserve to roast.
Police Unions are gangs. Not labor unions.
TSA is way more like mall security than police tho.
ACAB all the way, and TSA is little more than a hollow performance, basically security flavored LaCroix that ought to be abolished as genuinely wasteful and needlessly degrading and inconvenient to travelers.
But I don't really see TSA agents as cops. I'm sure the line blurs in some specific cases, but they're not going around murdering people with impunity like cops do.
Sort of my feelings here. This isn't like the FBI or CIA that actively go around trying to fuck people over. Airports wouldn't function if they acted like that and politicians LOVE to fly.
But also, the TSA is a place we need to defund and mostly dismantle. There's no reason an airport needs so much security theater other than it makes rich people feel good. They need about as much security as a subway does (not much).
That said, they aren't first on my list for "defund the police". That honor belongs to ICE.
Pretty sure you misunderstood op. They're saying their hatred of TSA is overshadowed by their love of unions meaning they think this is bad because as the other person said, harm to one union harms all unions.
I may be stupid and unable to read but at least I don’t work for the TSA.
