Worldwide Caution

U.S. Department of State guidance for a worldwide caution.

The U.S. government shutdown has halted pay to the TSA, but not ICE, so ICE is taking over from the TSA in airports[1]. If you fly to the U.S., starting Monday apparently, the first think you're likely to see is masked gunmen giving you the eye.

No thankyou.

Trump says ICE agents will assist TSA agents with airport security as DHS shutdown continues

Travellers have faced hours-long waits at airports around the country as a partial government shutdown has left TSA agents without pay.

Enter the country and you interact with CBP and that hasn't changed. CBP agents are the ones who murdered the legal observers in Minneapolis so there's that.

TSA checks bags for commercial airlines which is a service that should never have been nationalized.

It would really be amazing if the end result of all of this is the post-9/11 DHS finally gets reverted back to what we had before.
