href=\"https:\/\/www.wsbtv.com\/news\/local\/long-lines-out-door-atlanta-airport-ice-agents-arrive-assist-tsa\/SIDSKEKZXJGHHNBXBYESLHHYVI\/\">ICE agents to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson<\/a> Intergalactic Spaceport, Nail Salon and Chicken Tender Museum in order to assist with crowd control and the nightmare scenario where the vast majority of TSA agents are no-showing because they\u2019re not getting paid.\u00a0 Sure, they\u2019re marginally capable of perhaps doing some base job functions like staring at people menacingly while behind a gaiter and holding an automatic firearm so that people think twice about trying to cut any lines and shave an hour off their wait, but there\u2019s a higher possibility that these ICE clowns make things worse, escalate a situation, and there\u2019s probably going to be more arrests and possibly deaths, before any progress or civility is restored to the airport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I\u2019m just really glad that I don\u2019t have any upcoming flight bookings coming up, because I\u2019d probably punt on any airline travel I have coming up if it required me to go through ATL right now, because it doesn\u2019t seem to matter when people are rolling up to the airport these days, the waits just seem to grow commensurate to how early people are showing up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Mythical wife and I are current with <em>The Pitt<\/em>, and the most recent episode introduced a sub plot where two ICE agents bring a woman set to be detained to the ER, because she was most likely injured during a raid that they conducted. \u00a0And the presence of ICE in at the hospital passively makes all sorts of minority staff, patients and waiting patients to peace the fuck on out of the Pitt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">When Doctor Robbie tells them to stay the fuck to themselves and not be meandering around, they basically roid rage and attempt to interrupt the treatment of their detainee and send her to detention without treatment, with no regard for her injuries, and when an RN intervenes, he gets taken down and arrested as well, and in classic Pitt logic, there is no situation that cannot be made worse, somehow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I feel like this is exactly what\u2019s going to happen at ATL, with ICE wandering around the airport now.\u00a0 All sorts of Hispanic and other minority would-be passengers will see them lurking around, and decide it\u2019s not worth getting targeted and possibly detained and shipped off to a <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">concentration camp<\/span> detention center, and slip on out of the airport and ironically, ICE will have assisted in relieving the congestion of humanity at the airport, slightly, but seeing as how this was probably also the intention of the whole plan, it begins to grow the narrative that airline travel is becoming more of a white privilege than it already is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Regardless, it\u2019s just sad, laughable, and endlessly pathetic to see the state of, well, everything these days.\u00a0 ICE agents trying to do TSA functions is like asking gorillas to do custodial work, at first they\u2019d probably show remote capability of the bases of functions, but ultimately something is going to set them off, and ragey, power-tripping violence is going to be inevitable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The craziest part about all these airport nightmares is that the guy sitting in the White House was named like 3,000+ times in the Epstein Files.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That\u2019s the best analogy that comes to mind when I
