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.
Your get what you voted! Enjoy your fucking war.
Are the flights backed up to, or are they just leaving half empty all the time?
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
Work. Studies. Family. Funerals. Escaping reality. Evading justice. Lots of reasons.
Zero sympathy for USian planet incinerating jet-set crowd. They got what they voted for.
And not a mask to be found as a new variant of Covid surges…
Boy am I glad they're making sure a terrorist with a bomb can't get onto a plane to kill a lot of people packed together in a crowded place.
Can't blow up a plane if nobody can get onto the plane!

The sad thing about this is that most Trump supporters probably don’t fly because either they’re always in their own bubble and/or can’t afford to. So they can’t relate to this, so it’s a non-issue sadly.
They don’t fly because God invented the car, Jesus built the highways and St Peter gave republicans the car keys.
Why share a plane with other Americans when you can just drive around, as god intended ?
So they get to punish others for doing the things they choose not to do.
Again.
Why don't they just let people take their assault rifles onto the plane such that they can defend themselves? Are they stupid?
It's an airplane, not a grade school classroom.
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.
Is there any other country on earth that stops working altogether once a year?
Lol I was looking into this the other day. From what I understand it's to prevent too much power being with any one group in US govt ..
Short answer is no, most countries have rules that see public servants (govt. employees) paid even when a department's budget has not been agreed - for example Belgium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932011_Belgian_government_formation
Only once a year? Are you talking about the US, because it seems to have stopped working quite some time ago.
Good thing the US has a high speed railway network like China, Japan, Europe or Morocco, so you don't need to get on a plane. Oh.. wait...
I hear Elon Musk is getting right on that. These conservatives are so efficient and successful! Good thing we keep finding new tax breaks for them.
Tired of ~~waiting~~ winning yet?
It feels worse in real life. I was there on Sunday. Cannot recall ever being in longer lines.
The American electorate, truly the greatest in the world
I’d much rather have Camacho as the president. At least he knew that he should trust people smarter than him.
Camacho was a great president. I submit the following:
When faced with a problem he didn't know how to solve, he appointed the best person he could find and listened to their advice.
Upon realizing that he made a mistake, he reversed course and corrected.
I don't think he ever raped a minor.
I can feel the stress and exhaustion emanating from this image.
I’d honestly just cancel my holiday instead going through that trauma.
What is this? A No Kings airport?
Looks like a freedom country chicken farm
Hey MAGA, thanks for making London Heathrow a better airport.
Yeah but.. Is America great again yet?
Jesus Fucking Krist airport right now.
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.
I’ve only been to JFK once, but I get the sense that the lines there always look like this. Not saying all the other stuff isn’t an issue, but don’t give JFK any credit. Hands down the worst airport I’ve been to. Avoid at all cost.
JFK is shit, yeah. But LAX is worse. They don't have any designated area for overlay. You have to go through immigration, only to go through security again to get your connecting flight. And immigration is rude, like, I don't want to enter your shitty country, you make me do it, because you apparently don't know how to build airports.
And security takes ages, so you wait in line, while you're called out already to board the flight. Like I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THAT LINE! I did not want to go through immigration or security or anything. I just wanted to get my connecting flight.
Flying is such a giant humiliation ritual, I have no idea why people even bother.
Because places are far away
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.
My coworker noped out of a trip across country because they’d have a grandchild with them, and didn’t want any issues with missing flights, long waits, or ICE shenanigans. If they didn’t have their grandchild, they probably would have taken the train instead.
