I know TSA looks for communications with extremists over Facebook or something. But why would they think they could identify suspicious activity in such a short time? They aren't professional or competent enough to join real law enforcement, why do they pretend to be intelligence officers?

If someone wants to join a terrorist organization or something, and the FBI didn't identify them by the time they get to the airport, TSA ain't stopping them. So just let us pass in peace

This is about CBP, which is real law enforcement.
