🧦 TSA to End Shoe Removal Policy at Select Airport Checkpoints According to a federal source, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will no longer require passengers to remove their shoes at certain U.S. airport checkpoints. The change will roll out gradually, starting with airports that adopt newer CT scanning tech and biometric pre-screening systems. The move aims to improve speed and convenience—but privacy advocates warn it may come at the cost of expanded surveillance and pre-clearance tracking. So the trade-off is this: No more removing your shoes... But say hello to facial scans, biometric profiling, and AI-driven traveler scoring. This isn’t about comfort. It’s about control. 🔗 Full story: https://www.foxnews.com/us/tsa-end-shoe-removal-policy-some-airport-security-checkpoints-government-source-says #TSA #SurveillanceState #TravelRights #BETTRNewswire #FacialRecognition #BiometricSecurity #FreedomToFly #DigitalPrivacy https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/07/08/tsa-to-end-shoe-removal-policy-at-some-airport-security-checkpoints-government-source-says.html

💰 Here’s How Much Trump’s Pardons and Commutations Have Cost the Federal Government A new report claims that Donald Trump’s pardons and commutations may have cost the federal government millions in lost fines, legal appeals, and supervision costs. Critics argue that many of the recipients were political allies or celebrity offenders, not wrongfully convicted citizens. But here’s the truth they leave out: 🔹 The cost of a pardon isn’t the problem. 🔹 The real waste is the DOJ's budget being weaponized against political enemies while cartel traffickers walk free. 🔹 Meanwhile, January 6 defendants rot in pretrial cells while fentanyl dealers cut plea deals. If we’re talking dollars, let’s audit DOJ grants, FBI slush funds, and fake domestic terror task forces before crying over paperwork costs for clemency. 🔗 Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2021/01/20/heres-how-much-trumps-pardons-and-commutations-have-cost-the-federal-government/ (Note: You may sub in newer coverage if available) #TrumpPardons #J6Truth #JusticeReform #DOJCorruption #BETTRNewswire #PoliticalPrisoners #FederalWaste
