If you haven't figured this out yet, #TSA #PreCheck has absolutely nothing to do with #safety. It exists purely for #exploitation of people for more profit when they #travel, and to enforce #discrimination.
They get away with it, because our elected officials and #politicians are terrified of being labeled #SoftOnCrime, even though we know #SecurityTheatre is a lie that doesn't prevent #terrorism.
20+yrs later, we're still taking our shoes off and are limited to 1 qt baggies. #idiocracy
Here's today's evidence of #Luxon being unable to answer a simple question to qualify his hollow rhetoric that blames the former Labour govt being soft on crime for the 30,000 increase in violent crimes since NactFist became govt.
The question being posed is; ...just what tangible Labour policy was there that points to that showed that they were soft on criminals?

The #GOP may be #giddily welcoming #Trump back after Jan. 6, but their #fawning can't #hide his #unfitness for the office he seeks.

“Tough on Crime” Republican Attorney General Candidate Is Soft on Sex Offenders
Someone steals $720,000 and gets home detention. I am assuming the #SoftOnCrime folks will be turning in their graves about this
And yet people in #poverty stealing a fraction of that amount to survive are vilified 
The #nzpol #SoftOnCrime crowd seemed to have missed these two guys stealing thousands before being asked to sit at home. They might call it a victimless crime, but I doubt if the people of #Christchurch who battled with #EQC for years would agree
