TSA is really useful if you need someone at 6 in the morning to turn hues of violet, veins bulging, while full-throat screaming at you to take your laptop out of the bag completely unprovoked.

TSA is a jobs program, but the federal government isn't supposed to do anything useful anymore so this is what it does.

TSA is for fascists who are somehow too stupid to even be regular cops, an already subterranean bar

SeaTac is the worst. Out of all the airports I've been to only Honolulu compares in pettiness and general disdain for humanity.

CW: me being violated

ALSO. Idk why we have a system that requires me to let a stranger touch my dick if I want to travel.

TSA has a male/female button they press for their scanners. They press the female button for me, which means the scanner thinks I'm hiding something in my pants.

They took me aside for a pat down. I told them what the issue was, and asked them politely not to touch my dick. She told me it was procedure and that she had to feel all the way up my crotch.

I begged her not to. She did anyway. She stopped once she touched it, but by then my day was ruined.

I learned that doing a tuck lets me through the scanners. So I always go to the bathroom before checkpoints to make adjustments. But, I'm always nervous about flying now.

they're completely useless. remember that anytime an American gets arrested by customs at their destination for "accidentally" bringing a gun or ammo or whatever, that means TSA didn't catch it when they boarded

last time I flew they made me put my tablet through the scanner twice because the first time the guy admitted he wasnt paying attention lol

I go out of my way to not wear GNC clothing while I travel, but I got flagged by the penis detecting machine around my privates anyway the last time I flew and had to get a pat down. I was almost honored. Nothing compared to going through customs though.

one of my favorite things about not living in the failed states of America anymore and never traveling there is how much easier air travel is

in Colombia you can rock up to the airport 30 min before gate call for a domestic flight and breeze through security so fast you still have time to get bored before boarding starts

even the Br*ts don't make flying as painful as cursed America does

Highly recommend all my trans/enby comrades get precheck for less genital inspections with the kindly neighborhood fascists at the TSA.

Bu bu but they're keeping us safe! I love how they are opening up every phone and computer to insure explosives haven't been planted somewhere in the supply chain and set to go off with a simple press of a key. So safe from bringing your own fucking beverages on the flight so you have to pay 20 bucks for a shitty Heineken. So safe look I took off my shoes oh so safe

u mad
