    If we want to abolish the TSA and move the money into a dramatically expanded AmTrak, I’m here for it.

    But if you think the modern era of school shootings and abortion clinic bombings and J6 riots is going to give us a de-securitized airport system, I’d kindly ask you to pass me what you’re smoking.

      We made flights more secure with the better door to the cockpit. The TSA part is equally effective as a metal detector is. It wouldn’t be less secure to not do the enhanced screening the TSA does. It would mean several companies lose out on massive contracts for that fancy equipment, which is why it won’t happen.
