The TSA caught found over 3,000 guns at security checkpoints in the first 6 months of 2022. Hell, in 2018 they were averaging 82 firearms per week.

Just because a handful of journalists or whatever other rogue anecdotes of morons slipping through you have, doesn't mean they aren't doing their job. Here's more.

2020 3,257 guns (not much traveling in 2020)

2019 4,432 guns

2018 4,239 guns

2017 3,957 guns

It pays to never stop learning. That's a mistake "Christian conservatives" or the "Don't Tread on Me" folks make. They are the ones who do what they're told to do instead of learning for themselves.

Shut the fuck up. Time and time again it's been proven that the tsa has not prevented any actual terror plots and has let through actual security threats either due to accidents by passengers or intentional probing of the security measures. Tsa is a waste of time and money.

The amount of people in this thread asserting I have it good is too damned high.

I have some comforts right now. It's been nice. It's recent, and a reprieve from the hellstorm that's been the last 32 years.

But even with those nice things, my world is still pretty miserable and dangerous. To even sleep in the shelter I have to be on titanic amounts of benzos to counteract the incessant panic attacks.

So like, fuck off?

See, you take the consumer price index to adjust for inflation, then you average the last 3 years CPI and compile the totals of all fines and add the limiting rate. Then you round to the nearest whole dollar so it doesn't look weird.

It's pretty simple really.

Not really. I'm in appeals for SSI precisely because I can't work. I'm far too unreliable and reactively sensitive.

I'm also buried in student debt for an incomplete art degree from years ago before I was diagnosed and fully understood just how unwell I was. Dropped out like every third semester.
