The TSA is pointless security theater and should be abolished alongside ICE. Two things have made flying safer since 9/11: reinforced cockpit doors and passengers that will fight back. The TSA is bad at their job and part of the corporate surveillance complex.

“Drive to rule” is a good idea in any case, but especially now
As I was being tailgated down W. River Parkway by a large SUV with tinted windows, the thought occurred to me that it might help if everyone drives a bit slower. Gives observers more time to identify feds.
We have a 20 MPH speed limit on residential streets, let’s weaponize it

I hope folks outside of Minnesota know that federal agents are continuing to run rampant - in residential neighborhoods, at businesses, across our communities - terrorizing already traumatized people for no discernible reason other than causing fear and chaos.
It's putting all of us in danger.

Hands down, the worst rental cars are always Chevrolets. I currently have a trailblazer. It is a total piece of junk. CarPlay doesn't work half the time. The throttle response is a joke. Put the pedal on the floor and the engine revs but the car does not move. I am ruined by my EV.
