#TSA agents undergo six months of training before they're considered qualified to work without close mentor-like oversight.
When you put untrained people into workflows that require extensive training, things slow down, not speed up.
Anybody who said that sending untrained #ICE agents to airports would speed up security checkpoints was either (a) monumentally stupid or (b) lying.
It's not about speed, it's about further normalizing #TrumpsGestapo.

@jik I think it is about punishment, that they think Democrats use airplanes or Democrats will be blamed because the President decided to punish people who fly. People who fly are overwelmingly rich and influential. It is about the worst demographic to inconvenience or upset.

@jik Fred Brooks had it right, and not just about software: "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later."
