Why Is JFK Allowing International Passengers in Without Making Them Go Through Customs?

You know the airport, right America? It’s that place where special “Homeland Security agents” who have had two weeks of training on how to view their fellow citizens as suspects who are guilty until proven innocent and how to properly grope someone’s boobs and crotch get to harass and molest everyone who wants to board an airplane all day, every day, day in, day out.

It’s a place where we have no rights or freedom to travel. Where a three-year-old in a wheelchair on his way to Disneyworld can get stopped so a grown man can feel inside his waistband and swab his leg cast for bombs. A place where grandma’s colostomy bag can get ripped out because it makes ‘Murica’ safe from terrorists. A place where you have to take your flip flops off and walk on a floor covered in hundreds of other people’s sweaty foot junk because hey, they don’t know, you might have found an ingenious way to smuggle a loaded gun or a bomb capable of taking a plane out of the sky in 1/2 an inch of cheap rubber you’ve been walking on all day.

A place where reality clearly does not apply anymore.

Perhaps that’s why, in the same breath that all that is going on, at the same time at JFK airport, international passengers arriving from Mexico are apparently allowed to just come right in without even going through customs at all!

A traveler on the flight who had been to Cancun to go to three Phish concerts told NYDN all about it:

“It’s absolutely absurd,” the business adviser said. “To think that anyone could be walking off of that plane and just get right into the city. It could be terrorists, El Chapo’s henchmen, anyone.”

The guy even tried to tell TSA what happened and they didn’t care:

The jam band fan said he even approached a Transportation Security Administration agent near the exit, but was told he was free to go.

“I told them what happened and asked them what should I do,” the passenger said. “They said to me ‘That’s fine, you’re OK. Go ahead.’ ”

And the exact same thing happened back in November, too. And if someone isn’t there to report when it does happen, who really knows how often this happens and from where else in the world people are coming in without even having to go through basic customs. Answer? No one.

Security theater, ladies and gentlemen. It’s all security theater. Just remember this the next time one of these TSA agents is “patting down” your wife or kid… Are Americans ever going to walk away from this tyranny and refuse to participate?

If enough of us did, it would have to stop.
