The TSA is largely performative, but if they keep the same requirements and just have far fewer people responsible for doing the work then the long lines we have now are here to stay.
It's like when people want to cut the IRS's budget. It doesn't mean you pay less tax, it means you wait on the phone longer when you try to resolve an issue.
With the IRS, it was shown that at lower staffing levels, they don’t have the resources to audit large tax cheats like billionaires, just middle annd lower income folk. So I imagine they would be super happy to reduce IRS headcount.
It’s one of the first things they did. https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/2025/07/22/irs-workforce-has-shrunk-25-since-trump-took-office/165368/
This is why I support cutting down the IRS. In 258,983 ywar when I earn my first Billion working my 9-5, I can more easily avoid paying taxes.

The thing is though, a poorly executing IRS is good for tax companies, and one could argue most businesses in general. A poorly executing tsa however is disastrous for airlines and one could argue also for businesses in general.
Nonetheless, tsa never should have existed in the first place. Eurozone does it through contractors and it works well.
Just a way to put more ICE in airports.
My thoughts exactly. Why won't he gradually replace all government workers with ICE agents? They can do whatever work is needed (poorly, not that they give a fuck--in fact they'll claim the jobs were done poorly before so don't blame ice if things don't improve) while also detaining suspect people at their whims as well. For this administration it would seem like a win-win
Is this proof that the TSA being unfunded was a GOP plot to do a mass firing of the TSA after all, and not the fault of the Democrats?
A blown up plane would do wonders for the calls against the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial War.
