Capitol rioter whines that going through airport security is now a 'huge problem'
Jan. 6 defendants are complaining they're having trouble with air travel, according to CBS News' Scott MacFarlane.
In a post to X, MacFarlane shared a newly submitted court filing from Jan. 6 defendant James Rahm III, who asked for leniency in his sentencing.
"I also believe I am on a terrorist watchlist, because flying has become a huge problem," Rahm wrote in his filing.
"Airlines refuse to allow me to check in or board. After waiting about 1-2 hours standing at a desk, I am finally issued a boarding pass. Then TSA [Transportation Security Administration] takes me for a personal screening which is intense, uncomfortable, intrusive, and lengthy," Rahm's letter to the court read.
"TSA sets up an additional security check at the gate. They empty all my belongings, while the other passengers wait to board. This has happened the last 4 times I have flown. This treatment is extremely inconvenient and embarrassing for me and for my girlfriend, who suffers the same treatment, just for flying with me."
"The stigma has affected personal relationships. Some neighbors no longer speak with me. Some friends have exited my life. To this day I receive anonymous calls and hate mail at my home..." he added.
According to Newsweek, Rahm claim is consistent with complaints from other Jan. 6 defendants and it's likely well-founded. In the weeks after Jan. 6, TSA Administrator David Pekoske confirmed that the agency considering putting people who rioted on Jan. 6 on a no-fly list.

Honestly, what kind of world are we living in if travellers are being inconvenienced just because they tried to thwart the democratically expressed wishes of the American people?
Is tis what “woke” is?

This is reprehensible that they are being treated this way. It's absolutely disgusting that just because they're traitors they should be inconvenienced during their travels when they should have been immediately shot.

Trump will pardon them all if he’s allowed back into office. For all his flatulent noise about “law and order,” he’s openly committed to freeing dozens of convicted felons purely because they rioted for him.
Make THAT into a campaign ad.

But we're the snowflakes. It really is all projection with those people. I just saw a former schoolmate (who is also a bus driver) screaming about how she can't wait to school her kids at home, because "public schools are so toxic".
I promise you, she will continue to vote Republican.

There should be lifetime consequences for these violent clowns. Why are they even letting terrorists board planes at all? They should be forced to travel by bus like all the other inbred yokels.
