Texas highways targeted by antiabortion activists seeking to block interstate travel
A new ordinance, passed in several jurisdictions and under consideration elsewhere, aims to stop people from using local roads to drive someone out of state for an abortion
They got implemented after 9/11 and is far more security theatre than genuine impediment to travel.
This is going to be more security theatre if it is anything.
Routinely. Especially folks looking to party in New Orleans or gamble in Oklahoma.
idk, the existence of the tsa and their wandering hands has kept me from traveling p well, at least by plane
I’ll admit, I haven’t been patted down in a long time. But I’m a large dude. Not typically their favorite target. Not since “vaguely Arab looking” was cause for alarm, anyway.
Exactly. There’s a lot of opportunities for private profits from security theatre.
A more likely option could be implementing those plate scanners for toll roads. Scan people going through pre-check lane, follow up on unauthorised vehicles. Everyone else queues up to answer questions, be pulled aside for further inspection such as at a border gate.
