I don't really see people defending TSA anywhere. I just see people pointing out that Trump thinks DEI initiatives are at fault, while simultaneously thinking that thinning out the workforce in a notoriously understaffed field will strengthen the workforce.
I was about to clarify a few minutes ago, they were defending the TSA on reddit. "This is how you get 9/11" or something like that.
How do you even know what they were saying on reddit a few minutes ago? squints suspiciously
Half of reddit wasn't even born yet when we were bitching about the post 9/11 security theater
Yes I've seen a lot defending TSA on Instagram as well
Bin Laden said he did 9/11 to bring attention to the Palestinians suffering. So supporting zionism is how we got 9/11. About two and a half decades later we havent learned a single thing. If anything we care less about human lives all the time.
Bin Laden was very clear that the US military presence in Saudi Arabia was the primary factor. Palestine was mentioned but was never as big of a motivation as Al Qaeda's goal is reconstructing the caliphate in Medina which would be complicated if the US military were present.
