Will they steal from luggage? Will they accept favors?

Highly trained Homan said. So does that mean more than 47 days?

I freakin' hate these people.

Having these clowns at the airports is only going to cause increased crowding and - mark my words - violence, when they get pushed or somebody won't "obey" them.

masked and armed militia, immune and answerable to no one, doing what they please - detaining, snatching, intimidating, assaulting and murdering people - without warrant, explanation, or due process, who are now going to be deployed at airports.

LOOKING like a banana republic?

All they have to do is pull anybody with a Hispanic sounding name or an accent out of line and throw them on a bus. 3000 per day? Easy peasy.

And an insult to TSA employees. Basically we're telling TSA workers that, "No, we won't pay you, but we think a trained monkey could do your job so we're bringing in a bunch of lawless thugs who haven't had 1 day of training."

And if ICE thugs it up at these places, everyone has a phone to capture it and we're going to get a good look at how lawless and violent they are.
