The TSA is well known for being completely terrible. Yes, they’re there to keep the public safe and the idea is typically solid. But when it comes to the TSA, it seems like they hire from the DMV rejection pile. I can only put my shoes on so quickly while also carrying all of my open luggage across to the crappy tables.
Not all TSA security checks are alike, but we’ve seen some horror stories in the past few years. The Daily Show pulls them all out and also notes all the wonderful ways that airports are attempting to break away from all the stress put on travelers. But that’s not enough for Trevor Noah and crew, who decide the time has come for drastic measures.
Some of the correspondents dress up as TSA officers and give them the ad they deserve, much like those badass Marines ads that paint a picture of men fighting fire beasts with swords. We don’t get to see that, but we do get to see that being a member of the TSA makes you the bad boy or girl of the air travel world. Flip those travelers the bird because you’re the front lines for freedom.
Also all of the water you can drink.
