    No. They’ll need to fill out a form online before they go. Europe is only requiring this because the US has forced similar bullshit on Europeans for years cos “terrorism”.

      Even domestically, Americans hate this crap. No one likes the TSA. No one thinks they do a goddamned thing. It’s a massive invasion of privacy and a huge waste of money. And then we have this “Real ID” thing looming over us just to get on an airplane (again, for a domestic flight only).

      You’d think we could unite against such a simple common enemy but apparently no one has the time. I guess politicians are worried about a sudden glut of unemployed TSA workers who’s only job skills are identifying the water bottle I forgot in my bag.

      I never got this. What legal implications does stating that you’re not a terrorist have to enable persecution that they couldn’t enforce otherwise if you were actually a terrorist?

      Like, if I were a terrorist, I doubt I’d have a huge problem with lying, so the whole thing always feels silly.

      All the security theater around borders and flights needs to end. Open all boarders and make boarding a plane as simple as boarding a train. Also remove Karma from all of lemmy!
