OK, I just figured out why LICE is deployed to airports

It's not to relieve congestion, it's to make sure TSA agents don't walk off the job.

These motherfuckers are as useless as tits on a boar hog.

It's to get people used to them being around so when they are at polling stations it's not as big of an outrage.

Just take a break from which one never returns. They can't stop them from not doing their jobs, especially when the ICE fucks are getting paid and TSA employees are not.
