Submission statement: TSA plans to further increase travel security in light of the Iran war and heightened tensions. Fears of terror attacks have prompted the Trump administration to institute new, stricter security measures on airports and flights, the first of which is the announced clear bag policy. It will be curious to see how this affects the world cup taking place in the US. Also Trump will probably try to make a grift out of this.

How many bombs and weapons did they find in simulated exercises? Any of them?
Just stop checking if you’re waving everyone through in the first place.
But my first thought is also, who owns stock from the administration in clear bag manufacturing

Exactly how much security are we gaining in exchange for this draconian policy? None? We’re just making it a little easier to operate the security theater we all collectively submit ourselves to?

This is just a joke as part of our annual April Fools’ Day tradition here at Upgraded Points, and we are hugely appreciative of everything that TSA officers do to keep air travel safe.

It’s really hard to tell what’s real anymore.
