TSA: illegals fly without ID. Security theater becomes security clown circus.

Really, the extent to which the US government is full of shit cannot be overstated. When I fly, I have to have umpteen pieces of photo ID plus a passport, be groped by some minimum wage "security officer"/ doofus in a blue shirt, have all my crap x-rayed, stand in line like a cow for hours, and so forth. Meanwhile in Texas:

MCALLEN, Texas—Illegal aliens are being allowed to fly on commercial airliners without valid identification, according to the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC). "The aliens who are getting released on their own recognizance are being allowed to board and travel commercial airliners by simply showing their Notice to Appear forms," NBPC's Local 2455 Spokesman, Hector Garza, told Breitbart Texas.

"This is not the CBP [Customs and Border Protection] or another federal agency renting or leasing an aircraft, these are the same planes that the American public uses for domestic travel," said Garza. "This just adds insult to injury. Not only are we releasing unknown illegal aliens onto American streets, but we are allowing them to travel commercially using paperwork that could easily be reproduced or manipulated on any home computer. The Notice to Appear form has no photo, anyone can make one and manipulate one. They do not have any security features, no watermark, nothing. They are simply printed on standard copy paper based on the information the illegal alien says is the truth."

Spokesman Garza continued, "We do not know who these people are, we often have to solely rely on who they say they are, where they say they came from, and the history they say they have. We know nothing about most of them, ICE releases them into the American public, and now they are boarding aircraft at will with a simple paper document that anyone can easily alter or reproduce themselves."

And don't forget friends, this week it was announced that there's a big TSA security push at foreign airports.

If you're going to let -illegal- aliens fly wherever they want with nothing more than a laser-printed sheet of paper, how serious about the security of the USA are you? And how much legitimacy does the endless harassment of the legally traveling public now have? Questions you won't be seeing asked on TV anytime soon.

I'd say this has moved from theater under Bush to farce under Term One Obama and now onward to concerted attack on the American public, my friends. Forethought and malicious intent.
