SHUT DOWN IS NOT MAKING AMERICA SAFE

.

Donald Trump says 'You're welcome.'

Why use an African American agent in the photo? 🤔 I don’t like it 😂

Clix_593 well that's embarrassing and Canada's TSA is sending ours pizza

This is normal.

11 days ago

And they confiscate my son's jar of Nutella!!! NutellaUSA

trump's TSA....Enough said.

11 days ago 🤔

Probably the safest flight in the skies that day

Replace TSA with Patriot One Tech. It’s cheaper, more accurate, and won’t steal your stuff.

... and nothing happened.

That took place before their pay checks stopped

Tell Trump to also build a wall around airports.

Privatize it!

Dang! I get a complete pat down when my hot flash sets off the temp detector in the body scanner, making preshutdown TSA workers think I have drugs, and he gets through with a gun due to stressed out, unpaid workers ...End the shutdown.

But you guys had to take my cologne huh

I guess we all forgot about how TSA misses 90 % of prohibited items.

they missed 95% of all undercover attempts to pass contraband. it's a useless position. bring back the metal detectors and profiling.

Propaganda. It's all you got.

bnmorello Must have been white!

This happens more than you would want to know. TSA releases annual data on test run failures at all airports. It’s pretty astonishing how many weapons pass through airports during inspections.

And nothing happened...no one died, no planes crashed, no one was shot...stupid propaganda from pravda

if they reported it, why did they let it happen.

Why would anyone be surprised? The TSA is 'Security Theatre' and nothing more.

Weak exit and entry portals.

That is possible because these TSA employees have not been paid. And as a result the are doing the bare minimum. They don’t care anymore. We should remember they are not the ones boarding planes. It’s the general public in the millions who travel regularly.

I fly every week and this is not about the shut down,its the TSA focused on the wrong things such as too many paper clips, or too many quarters in your bag. Is your tooth paste an 1/8 oz. too big. Why didnt he take off his scarf. Why is there a garage door opener in your bag.

See video starting at 8:30 mark here

I wish I could take a firearm when I fly to other countries. Is this not how people fast track?

Promises made , promises kept !

Since liberals won’t click the link and read...

Fear mongering from the Resistance

If one single Plane Crash,Case of Desiease,Rail Road Derailment,Container Entry Human Smuggleing Death Occurrs!?Trump you'll & Ditch Mitch will be Impeached so fast the Meuller Investigation won't even be over!

This shows that there is a terrible loophole in the security agencies.

If they often fail to detect weapons, how can we believe that the shutdown endangers our safety Seems our safety is already endangered by their incompetence.

If something dreadful happens and there is loss of life because of this political Trump shutdown, there should be hell to pay. Open up the government before it’s too late.

The funny thing is those cans of pop they serve on planes can be used as knives.

It just shows once again how ineffective TSA is... They would make me toss my mini Swiss Army multi tool (1.5” long), but would let me take on board 4.5” long metal nail file...

But they took my toothpaste.

Why put a photo of a traveler with a Black agent? Was it a Black agent that made this error? That's what this photo makes it appear as.

👎👎👎👎👎

That’s comforting.

This happened and sad to say happened even with out useless TSA

Is CNN trying to prepare us for their next government produced atrocity ?

Because a government shut down TSA useless individuals allowed this to happen disgraceful

The potential is there for this to get worse as the shutdown continues. I’m sure our adversaries are watching.

“Boarder security!”

The agents of the airport were sexing !!

Look how many dems puppets here

Cool cool cool

you forgot Trumpshutdown

This is a problems why is this happening

Was it on purpose or by accident? Either way, not good....

TSA

Airlines should cancel all flights until proper security can be reestsblished. They are putting their customers safety at risk!

TrumpShutdown I guess Trump & SenMajLdr McConnell don’t have enough blood on their hands yet.

👎🏻

TSA working for free now. What can go wrong...

This actually occurs when there is no government shut down too. Quite often actually....

Airports should handle their own security with support from the state.

EndTheShutdown

And he is worried about a freakin wall.... Smh

Great.

Happens all the time but nice scare story SchumerPelosiShutdown FundTheWall

Bringing a firearm on a plane is nothing new TSA only finds about 30% the 'weapons' people carry on planes anyway

shutdownstories

And so it begins. Because this infantile president does not get his way and throws his little temper tantrum, this is what happens. People suffer out of work and the terrorism begins. PutinsPuppet

Some one is not doing their Job Investigate ?

This is comforting

Passenger with gun made it through TSA checkpoint in Atlanta and onto Delta flightTSA denied that the Jan.2, lapse was due to staffing shortages related to the government shutdown. If it's not due to staffing shortages, then... it's just business as usual? I am sure this is not the first time this has happened, but most of the time people sneaking stuff through don’t get caught. But the border wall will stop terrorists.
