Sean Duffy: "... "TSA agents are law enforcement. They know how to pat people down, they know how to run the x-ray machi

Of course the idiot Duffy is talking about Trumps ICE agents who will be at airports this morning. We can only hope that ICE is not trigger happy today.

a very confused Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on ABC: "TSA agents are law enforcement. They know how to pat people down, they know how to run the x-ray machines because they are under Homeland Security with TSA. So if we can bring in other assets and tools to assist TSA to get rid of these lines, I think that makes a lot of sense."

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on ABC trying to explain how ICE agents will magically run X-ray machines is comedy gold. The man sounds like he just learned what TSA does yesterday. I fly for work twice a month and the idea of untrained border agents “helping” unpaid TSA workers makes me want to drive everywhere. This is what “efficiency” looks like under this crew?

Heck, will white staff feel safe to come to work? ICE seems to enjoy violence against everyone.
