There are several terminals with security checkpoints, this does not represent “JFK Airport” as a whole. This shown terminal is T5, JetBlue’s terminal.
Edit: who downvoted, lol. I’ve been to JFK 4 times this week. Nothing I said is untrue. It literally says Jetblue check in on the sign. Go pound sand.
Have you visited the other terminals as well? Are they significantly better and this is an outlier, or is this typical peak hours for jfk right now?
Your get what you voted! Enjoy your fucking war.
Zero sympathy for USian planet incinerating jet-set crowd. They got what they voted for.
Are the flights backed up to, or are they just leaving half empty all the time?
Where are people even going? I know we’re all kind of on that bandwagon where we just disassociate with the bad events happening everywhere right now as a defense mechanism but how does traveling make any sense right now? I just can’t
Work. Studies. Family. Funerals. Escaping reality. Evading justice. Lots of reasons.
And not a mask to be found as a new variant of Covid surges…
Boy am I glad they’re making sure a terrorist with a bomb can’t get onto a plane to kill a lot of people packed together in a crowded place.
Can’t blow up a plane if nobody can get onto the plane!

Blows up airport instead ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Well, that’s not TSAs direct job, so they don’t care.
They’re called TSA, not G(round)SA or A(irport)SA or… for a reason!
TBH I wonder why it hasn’t happened yet. Imagine the loss of freedom 🇺🇸 🦅 once that happens
It has, in Belgium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_bombings Maybe it wasn’t close enough to scare the 'muricans?
I’m honestly not too sure USAmericans believe in Belgium.
It’s like global warming or some such.
I was sort of surprised that bombing didn’t have more effects than it did. It really did seem to highlight some issues.
How about onion layers of security checks that start about a mile from your gate? That way the bad guys are only in the outer lines where passenger density is still low…
Start with Vehicle check points a mile from the airport
Yes, that was the joke. lol
Let’s concentrate all the people in one place so that they can’t bring weapons onto a plane. Nothing could go wrong…
Just a half dozen bags dropped off in the course of 10 minutes.
Terror is so easy to accomplish via random crowds and isolated unprotected infrastructure that it makes one wonder if any of it was really terror.
The sad thing about this is that most Trump supporters probably don’t fly because either they’re always in their own bubble and/or can’t afford to. So they can’t relate to this, so it’s a non-issue sadly.
They don’t fly because God invented the car, Jesus built the highways and St Peter gave republicans the car keys.
Why share a plane with other Americans when you can just drive around, as god intended ?
So they get to punish others for doing the things they choose not to do.
Again.
Why don’t they just let people take their assault rifles onto the plane such that they can defend themselves? Are they stupid?
You dont give up your right to free speech when you get on a plane, why around you give up the right to bear arms?

It’s an airplane, not a grade school classroom.
I had to sleep in JFK Airport once. I don’t recommend it. The rats that come out at night are the size of a ~25 pound dog.
That’s weighs like 25 air port hotdogs!

Worst dungeon crawler ever
did you mean Trump JFK Airport?
I wish he got an airport award!
I just created the “Me, I think he deserves an airport award” award and I’m honored to…
Anyway, squirrel!
Is there any other country on earth that stops working altogether once a year?
Lol I was looking into this the other day. From what I understand it’s to prevent too much power being with any one group in US govt …
Short answer is no, most countries have rules that see public servants (govt. employees) paid even when a department’s budget has not been agreed - for example Belgium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010–2011_Belgian_government_formation
Thank you. To give another example, in Italy it is necessary to approve the budget by 31st of December. If this doesn’t happen the budget is controlled by the government but with limitations and only one month at a time. I think it’s a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I think it’s a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I agree for most countries.
The other option is if they fail to pass a budget, it triggers an automatic no confidence vote.
Only once a year? Are you talking about the US, because it seems to have stopped working quite some time ago.
Good thing the US has a high speed railway network like China, Japan, Europe or Morocco, so you don’t need to get on a plane. Oh… wait…
I hear Elon Musk is getting right on that. These conservatives are so efficient and successful! Good thing we keep finding new tax breaks for them.

Mr. President, it’s too much winning!
A man came up to me once, big man, strong man, with tears in his eyes and said. Mister President we are

I feel like I’m missing something, what’s the context?
TSA (the security theater people) had been unfunded for the last 50 or so days
Additional context:
TSA is part of DHS (Department of Homeland Security). ICE and border patrol are also a part of DHS.
After ICE started shooting citizens, the democrats said “no additional funding without some reforms.” In trumps Big Beautiful Bill ICE was already given a huge chunk of funding for the next few years, but they would like more.
Democrats have been trying to fund TSA but want a separate vote for ICE. This arrangement recently passed the senate but republicans in the house voted it down because they think they can pin the blame on the democrats and force them to give ICE more funding along with the TSA.
They didnt vote on it as far as I know. MJ just won’t allow it to be brought for a vote because it would probably pass.
