Like every other thing, MAGA doesn't respect the knowledge and learning that it takes to be a TSA agent. Not that it's brain surgery or anything, but TSA agents go through extensive and continuous training on how to spot threats, how to get revealing responses, how to act professional and gather evidence should their searches turn up anything. How to follow process for safety and to follow the laws that are around everything they do. Good TSA agents continuingly work at being better at their jobs, they take pride in it.

So it's insulting that the worst of the worst ICE agents are being deployed to airports. None of them know the first thing about doing the job and doing it well.
