ice replaced tsa.

there were times when air travel in the territory formerly known as USA worked fine without it.

but that was decades ago.

atc was always necessary, especially around airports.

mod parent up, as expected the "omg EU Parliament screwed teh children" angle is at the least dubious.

It is a lot simpler: the "big companies" simply lobbied for other, more pressing issues. Like keeping their walled gardens, or closing access to independent devs, etc.

And this one, whether working or not, just fell through.

Was it working and necessary in the first place? We don't know, as this key piece of info is sadly missing from tfs.

Still using that ole Kubrick script, of course.

Why try new when old works?

Back then it was only a question of money.

This time around the problem is somewhat different.

What "insinuation", you worthless sack of shit? I don't give a flying fuck if you're a magat or some other kind of worm. Facts are facts and I'll repeat them for your benefit:

The trumpistan is now a major factor of instability and conflict, worse than even China and on par with the pootin territory.

Your shithole of a failing state is legitimizing policies that will harm you just like your shitgibbon-in-chief's tariffs and spitting at the allies of the country formerly known as USA did.

I know you're too stupid to figure it out by a thought experiment, but the future will demonstrate it to you empirically.

Did I now? What else did the voice in your head that you think is me told you?

Quite the opposite, the trumpistan is now a major factor of instability and conflict, worse than even China and on par with the pootin territory.

Trumpistani is a subject of the trumpistan, a territory formerly known as USA.

A switch happened recently from a facade democracy to a weird open kleptocracy with some fundamentalist christianism thrown in for good measure.

Like the failed state of putin, trumpistan's most important ally and ideological twin, the latter is a failed state with a big surplus of arms left over for historical reasons, which are now used in dumb attempts to extract rent by force from all over the place, because the people who run this new feudal empire do not want to pay for it.

It is located right in the middle of the North American continent, squeezed between Canada and the Gulf of Mexico.

Hope this helps,

So sorry to disappoint you, but it appears that he is not only profoundly and immeasurably stupid, but also his cowardice matches his stupidity.

There is no USA anymore. There is the trumpistan, an open enemy of the Western world.

There is no difference between the trumpistan and, for example, putin's pederation in terms of the kind of foreign influence they're trying to peddle.

So your question is completely meaningless.

The trump's bunker buster bombs "obliterated" the Iranian nuclear program in June 2025.

Saying more bombs were necessary after this first obliteration is treason against trump the yuge.

Are you calling him a liar or an imbecile?

I stand corrected and you're spot on. A quantum dosing rod is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

Yes, we see some humans aren't nice at all and try to bully everyone, hiding behind a nuclear umbrella and giving an example of their lookalikes worldwide.

We also see how they end up with a smashed and badly blooded nose even when they think they are very powerful, like Putin in Ukraine.

Imagine what it is like, losing the war to a cruel regime of people you despise as weak and just when you thought you hold all the cards and won all the battles...

Unconscionable!

The biggest supporters of the ayatollah, putin and the corrupt Gulf monarchies and other dictatorial powers are the MAGA morons and trumptards like yourself.

The policies that your chieftain helps legitimize are the policies that those dictators hope are the "international law".
