definitely kill TSA precheck (and clear). It’s absurd to me that the government now offers a paid subscription service to enable people to bypass an entirely government-created problem that has little to no benefit.

“We are instituting a policy in which the government employs people to hit travelers in the face with a board as they enter the airport”
“If you would prefer not to be hit with a board as part of your travel experience, please apply for our new program and pay up.”
You’ve just defined a racket. Operating a racket is called racketeering.

That won’t add pressure to get rid of the TSA. I don’t know what will. I’d support an actually libertarian party at this point. One that did not consider women and black/brown people inferior and did not defer to megacorporations and multibillionaires.

This is a gross mischaracterization of libertarians, and a cheap straw man.
