TSA was already one part of doing that
Yup. Although rare, we all have the slight fear of being the one they “misidentified” and get taken back for a full strip search and left alone in a room for hours.
Or flown around to various detention centers for months on end with with no access to a lawyer, family, or healthcare…
Replace ICE with TSA in the headline and this could be an article from 2001-2005

And there you have it.
That works too!
I thought the police already do that in the US?
The difference between TSA and ICE is like the difference between Paul Blart and Derek Chauvin

Who are these guys?
Paul Blart is a fictional mall cop. Derek Chauvin was an actual cop who is now a convicted murderer for suffocating an unarmed and nonviolent black man on the streets of Minneapolis.
Paul Blart is a fictional mall security guard. Kinda incompetent, excessive sense of self importance, but a good guy.
Derek Chauvin was a real cop who murdered George Floyd by kneeling on him, cutting off his airway until he died.
ICE is Paul Blart incompetence with Chauvin lethality. As brutal as US cops are, they still require some sort of qualification; smart enough to know how to escalate but avoid making it their fault, mind fuck interrogations, telling people their rights then weaseling their way around it without quite “violating” it, hierarchy and teamwork. ICE is the rabble of those who couldn’t even meet that standard and the ones who did but were so unhinged they became a liability.
Paul Blart:
Derek Chavin (the man he’s kneeling on died as a result of this):
in Our Daily Lives
Right… Most of us fly every day. That’s a daily occurrence for sure. It isn’t seeing them at diners or patrolling neighborhoods that affects our “daily lives”, it’s the airports. The place that has been a totalitarian dystopia where we all know we have no freedoms or rights and haven’t for 25 years.
I mean the GOP is effectively a terrorist organization, so this tracks.
I am not discounting this, but in the early 90s I was traveling abroad and had a layover in the airport in Frankfurt and security was walking around the airport with Uzis. It was weird to see, but that was 35 years ago in a democratic country.
Yep I traveled to Great Britain a few times during “the troubles.” Security was not fucking around.
Er, your country has been doing that for DECADES.
So how do we resist this training?
Don’t use airports.
I wish my job was cool with me doing that :(
Take Amtrak.
Organize and vote them out
Don’t look at them as if they’re normal. They are not normal and should not be there.
I’m pretty sure TSA started the process.
Wait, people FLY without visas now??
You don’t always need a visa. I’ve been a bunch of places around the world with either a quick e-visa, an automatic visa, or no visa at all. And of course you don’t need a visa for domestic flights.
If you’re a US citizen, sure, but then you wouldn’t give 2 shits about presence of ICE.
Us? They probably meant “US”.
Imagine having a more peaceful life in North Korea.
