Today's news threat from our government's Executive Office is to have the agents of ICE (Immigrant and Customs Enforcement) take over the jobs of TSA agents at the airports. The TSA agents are tired of working without pay, and really, with the current(ly rising) gas prices, they probably can no longer afford to, since they don't actually live at the airports.
Maybe ICE could live at the airports!
After all, they are having a lot of problems finding places to take them in, and an airport should be big enough. The bigger the better for keeping them housed. Plus, sooner or later, they will be facing the same lack of income and higher gas prices. It's just taking longer due to their Special Status.
On the surface, this is a great idea, and probably should have been thought of a long time ago. Just think what incredible numbers they could have arresting and deporting people who might be 'fleeing' the country so they don't get sent away!
Isn't this where they should have been looking all along? As well as stopping flee-ers who aren't being counted on their scorecards, they might even spy some brazenly deplaning as if they were entering a free country of their free will.
It's so obvious.
Isn't that where they should have been all along, instead of raiding private homes and dragging children off the streets? (Even if it isn't to bait or betray their parents and siblings?) Or playing Chicken with automobiles then bawking and squawking like one when they succeed at getting hit?
Or --? Well, never mind. I don't want to wander into the uncovered or undiscovered possibilities -- I'm sticking with the best known examples.
They are bad enough.
There are other considerations as well, some of them rather frivolous.
My biggest question is that, while they are 'directing' people through metal scanners and personally feeling them up at gunpoint, will they still be masked?
Will they shoot you if you punch them in their nose if they get too frisky with the frisking?
Will they put your underwear on their heads when they toss your luggage all along the belt? Use your bras as gasmasks?
Will they take their masks off to do so?
Will they step on your bare toes once they have your shoes?
Will they have tear gas in enclosed areas?
Will they use it?
Will you be there when they do?
ICE in the airports may well slow down the country as much as the pandemic did in 2020.If it does, our executive Officer will have done in 4 months what it took him 4 years to do last time around.
We'll all be getting free spa mudbaths in the swamp, won't we, and being the moles getting whacked in the Great Game.
But the mud will be free, and if we do get whacked, we won't have to worry about embalming and burial costs.
We'll just keep sinking, from the sublime to sub-lime.
Isn't that ridiculous?
