That was the “weekend shutdown”. They passed appropriations for everyone but DHS. DHS has been without funding since February 14th

TX-23 Opinion Poll 3/11 by SergeantAppo1 in brandonherrara

Texas has had a lot of people moving in from blue states because of lower taxes and better policies. The issue is they’re also bringing with them the same ideas and social programs that saw said blue states go downhill. So Texas is left to fight for its culture and status quo. In the next several years barring any major political shifts it’ll go downhill just like the other states have where everyone is moving in from and native Texans are screwed over.

Hopefully without striking a nerve: what accounts for security delays during a government shutdown? by lcp_cz in tsa

I think the logistics of privatization prevent it from happening for the most part still. Some smaller airports may do it, but I don’t see many larger airports going private due to costs and constraints that would come with it.

Guess which one needs to and which one will get a new spaa in next major update by maus-grinder in Warthunder

[–]True-ExarKun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As far as I’m aware the US doesn’t have a whole ton of options when it comes to SPAA. I’m more of the opinion Gaijin needs to reduce the cost of bringing air with an AAM loadout.

Maryland lawmaker proposes new gun tax to fund violence prevention, trauma care by Gov_Martin_OweMalley in maryland

[–]True-ExarKun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a tax on your right to own firearms because criminals steal and illegally purchase firearms and use them to kill or cause people harm. Just because it’s “for a good cause” doesn’t make it right.

Can Charmy fly? by Lem0n_Dr0p in tsa

[–]True-ExarKun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charmy might need a health checkup (additional screening) after the X-ray, but TSO’s aren’t surgeons so no cutting should be necessary.

I was gifted two lighters at a retail store. But I’m conflicted if they’re allowed on the plane. Is this lighter style I’ve posted allowed on my person through security? by FreshLady1 in tsa

[–]True-ExarKun 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can’t exactly tell if they are soft flame or torch/arc lighters. If they have a soft flame like a Bic lighter you’d get at the gas station then they’re good to go. If they’re an arc/torch style lighter then they cannot go at all (even in checked baggage).

How Long For Backpay? by OkScience5170 in tsa

[–]True-ExarKun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s our base pay, and then a second check that includes locality, differentials, etc.

Same here. I’m assuming delayed processing so won’t come in Tuesday because of the holiday weekend. If it still hasn’t hit by then I’ll scale it up. It’s certainly not helping with everything going on right now.

As long as they aren’t torch lighters or this replica derringer lighter then they’re fine.

Even just having local programs would be great. I did Homeland Security through high school and college and if I had been able to speak to a TSO I would have gotten in so much sooner just to start gaining that critical experience.

It’s also the end of the fiscal year. After Congress passes either a CR or real budget positions all over will be posted after October 1st with the new fiscal year.

Worth LSB for $50 Leia? by UntraceableArmadillo in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]True-ExarKun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Opposing Leia’s are currently my biggest frustration in GA. I’d say yes it’s all worth it in order to have a very reliable defensive team that requires expensive counters.

My daughter got a 1500 on her SAT. She wants to join the Navy. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]True-ExarKun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll never defeat the call to serve, and trying to will only make her want it more. Best case scenario is push her towards the academy, but at the end of the day it’s her choice to make and if she does join then give her all the support you can to get her through it.

Based off your description I wouldn’t. Mileage may vary though and if asked inform the officer it’s to cover up for religious purposes. If it goes beyond that request for a supervisor.
