Donald Trump said Saturday he will deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to US airports on Monday if an agreement isn’t reached to fund the Department of Homeland Security amid a partial government shutdown.
It is unclear what function the ICE agents would perform since they’re not trained in airport security screening. TSA screeners have a several months-long training period before they’re on the job, though airline employees and private security companies have partnered on line controlling and guarding exit doors.
The agents could potentially help in more limited roles — like managing lines, directing passengers or helping move people through the checkpoint process — to free up trained TSA officers for critical security functions.
“We don’t have enough line cooks to keep the restaurant open, so I’m sending in nurses to help them out”
Do you hear how dumb this sounds out loud Donny?
I’d have gone with “mouth-breathing stormtroopers” instead of “nurses”, but yeah.
Nurses are extremely important
it was an analogy, geez.
“We don’t have enough IT guys to fix these servers, send in the accountants.” Is that better?
As if I didn’t already spend hours of my life trying to explain to accountants why they cant just continue using 10 year old hosts for the core production infrastructure lol
Ok
If the nurses were SS, yes
more like “we’ve run out of nurses, so we’ll send in abbatoir workers to do the job”
