I knew he'd weaponize airports.

Just think of all the applications for his Gestapo in and surrounding airports: to control movements of ALL people, not just brown ones.

Coming to an airport near you!

They are easy catch and deport locations, because we have fewer rights when we fly than pretty much anywhere else, other than prison. It's an easy way to bump up his deportation numbers.

You haven't read all the stories of people being detailed detained while entering, leaving, it passing through the US via an airport?

The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted for over a year. I think 381 or 381 days.

in early May I have a cheap SW ticket to meet my son at school with a rental car and drive him back to Texas. I can save the airfare for a year, rent a vehicle here by the house, and drive up & back. Adds one night hotel, but that's ok. I'd rather avoid the airports. Let them put pressure on Trump when their sales drastically drop from people deciding it's too dangerous to fly.

that the Continental Army protected planes at the airports?

Surely you've heard of Paul Revere. "One if by land, two if by air, and I on the opposite shore shall be there.

A couple years ago, that I wasn't flying anymore while the kkklown kkkar is careening around the country fucking everything up.

I can't afford to be a casualty.
