The irony of all this is that we have airport security screwed down to the nth degree but a virtually wide open Southern border letting in who knows how many thousands of induvials per week that may be intending on inflicting mayhem on our country at any time. The dichotomy of these two security theaters defies belief.

This ruse is not and has never been about security -- yours, mine, or the nation's. It is a mechanism for controlling and manipulating the public just as COVID was. The only difference is the pretext.

most blatant and obvious of course was Covid ... well, probably when people REALLY began to realize "somethings just not right ... "

Pray they remember. And hopefully a non-issue.

It sort of is about security, theirs - you know Our Democracy as Mike Benz puts it.

My recollection is that the FBI received a specific tip about the Parkland shooter in 2018, but did not act on it. But from the feds' standpoint, why should they be responsive for the purposes of localized, focused protection when they can work towards broad, nationwide crackdowns on constitutional rights instead? Their real goals have been made plain.

If I remember correctly, this was one of the objections to the whole enchilada we know call homeland security and itтАЩs renewal - its use as a weapon against citizens instead of against enemies.

AND those coming in through the airports merely have to wave their manila envelopes and TSA not just passes them through but then the airline give them "no wait boarding" and preferential seating .... happened to my niece and nephew traveling out of Texas last month

All the actual Islamic, Chinese, and drug gangsters are just walking across the Mexican and Canadian borders. Then they are given free cell phones and plane tickets to anywhere with absolutely no screening. At their destination they are given AK-47тАЩs, encrypted Telegram text accounts, and future plans for attacks. When will they get the signal? Terrorist cells are already placed in all 50 states.
