"If there is any Trump government run spectacle more absurd than long, shuffling lines of citizens surrendering their belts, phones, and carry-ons to a rubber bin, it is the ignorant and simplistic belief that such a security spectacle can be improved by the addition of ICE agents."

Robert Reich enumerates Trump's air travel challenges:

1. Lines are getting longer at airports.

2. Air-traffic controllers are way understaffed and underpaid.

3. Ticket prices are soaring and flights are being cancelled because the cost of jet fuel is soaring.

@wdlindsy I fully expect another crash, which Trump will blame on terrorism, regardless of the actual cause. Pretext for another "excursion."
