Where are people even going? I know we’re all kind of on that bandwagon where we just disassociate with the bad events happening everywhere right now as a defense mechanism but how does traveling make any sense right now? I just can’t
There are several terminals with security checkpoints, this does not represent “JFK Airport” as a whole. This shown terminal is T5, JetBlue’s terminal.
Edit: who downvoted, lol. I’ve been to JFK 4 times this week. Nothing I said is untrue. It literally says Jetblue check in on the sign. Go pound sand.
Are the flights backed up to, or are they just leaving half empty all the time?
And not a mask to be found as a new variant of Covid surges…
What is this? A No Kings airport?
I can feel the stress and exhaustion emanating from this image.
Your get what you voted! Enjoy your fucking war.
I had to sleep in JFL Airport once. I don’t recommend it. The rats that come out at night are the size of a ~25 pound dog.
That’s weighs like 25 air port hotdogs!

I flew out of EWR on Friday and my flight left (the gate) on time. Now, we took off 30m late because of the traffic at our final destination, but security was 10m and we were on the plane on time. It was incredible. The longest wait was to get the kids some chicken fingers, that was like 30m.
It feels worse in real life. I was there on Sunday. Cannot recall ever being in longer lines.
Zero sympathy for USian planet incinerating jet-set crowd. They got what they voted for.
I feel like I’m missing something, what’s the context?
TSA (the security theater people) had been unfunded for the last 50 or so days
Additional context:
TSA is part of DHS (Department of Homeland Security). ICE and border patrol are also a part of DHS.
After ICE started shooting citizens, the democrats said “no additional funding without some reforms.” In trumps Big Beautiful Bill ICE was already given a huge chunk of funding for the next few years, but they would like more.
Democrats have been trying to fund TSA but want a separate vote for ICE. This arrangement recently passed the senate but republicans in the house voted it down because they think they can pin the blame on the democrats and force them to give ICE more funding along with the TSA.
They didnt vote on it as far as I know. MJ just won’t allow it to be brought for a vote because it would probably pass.
This is what happens when you’re state/city doesn’t upgrade your airport either. I just flew through SFO and DIA this past week and security was under 5 minutes because they dont rely on TSA staff for the majority of their functions.
I flew round trip to JFK from SFO. Departing SFO felt normal. JFK was a nightmare.
Hey MAGA, thanks for making London Heathrow a better airport.
Flying is such a giant humiliation ritual, I have no idea why people even bother.
Because places are far away
