We see those shaky cell phone clips.

We've seen that all, those viral videos.

But it's something different to be confronted with them face to face.

And now this is a preview of what's to come.

We're seeing disruptions across the airports, TSA, these funding cuts.

But also now layer that in with having to fear that something is going to be ratcheted up when you go to the airport now because of this expansion of policy by the Trump administration.

I said the same thing this morning that you, we are paying for this shit.

This is you and me, and this should bother.

It's not left versus right.

You know this.

This is why you're so successful as a journalist and as a voice is because, you know, right now it's top versus bottom.

And look, this should piss everybody off.

This is what your taxpayer dollars are funding right now.

Meanwhile, TSA agents aren't getting paid.

Meanwhile, the people that are in charge of the screening process that are there to protect us from bad things going down have to deal with these agents standing behind them while they're doing their jobs.

while they're continuing to get paid record salaries.

And then look, they're running from cameras because what happens?

They're unmasked now.

You could see who these folks are.

In my circumstance, in the two agents that I saw, they were masked up.
