WASHINGTON – Republicans in the House of Representatives are revolting at the eleventh hour against a deal to end the six-week-long Department of Homeland Security shutdown, hurling the prospects of any impending solution into serious political jeopardy.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, after a long call with GOP lawmakers on Friday, March 27, denounced the compromise the Senate unanimously passed in the dead of night. In a highly visible split between House and Senate Republicans, Johnson said the agreement to fund all of DHS minus Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol wasn't palatable to his members.
"This gambit that was done last night is a joke," Johnson said. He added that he had just spoken to President Donald Trump and said the president "understands exactly what we’re doing and why, and he supports it."
Many conservative hardliners woke up in the morning furious about the situation, pledging to withhold their support for advancing the agreement unless it added immigration enforcement funding and a voter ID provision. ICE and Customs and Border Protection, two agencies within DHS, are already operating with cash reserves from a megabill passed last year.
We can't believe that the Senate abdicated its responsibility this morning," Rep. Andy Harris, R-Maryland, said. "This deal is bad for America. It's bad for Americans. The president has already said he's going to fund TSA out of funds he has. So it's not going to affect the airports if we don't do this today."
Johnson later said he planned to instead put to a vote a two-month stopgap measure that would keep all of DHS funded at its current levels through May 22.

The last-minute impasse imperiled the likelihood of a swift end to the DHS shutdown, which has upended airport security across the country. If the House passes the stopgap measure – also known as a "continuing resolution," or CR – senators would have to return to Capitol Hill. Yet many already left Washington for a planned two-week spring recess.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, said any legislation other than what Democrats already agreed to would have no chance in the Senate.
"A 60-day CR that locks in the status quo is dead on arrival in the Senate," he said in a statement. "And Republicans know it."

I know a guy who almost got a prison sentence because he accidentally had a few spare shooting range bullets in his backpack that TSA missed. When he went on a connecting flight in another country their security found them and he had to spend the night explaining how he wasn't an arms smuggler and that TSA had fucked up as opposed to him finding a way to fool cameras.
If nothing else they at least protect you from that.

there were over 1000 guns seized just at Pittsburgh Int'l Airport in the last two years. Nearly all of these are guns that the passenger simply forgot they were carrying.
Imagine carrying a gun into an airport and forgetting you had it. Multiply that by 1000X for just one airport.

I asked an AI program to compare the new Republicans with the old Russian "thieves in law" political system
Thieves in law" (Russian)
vor v zakone) within the American New Republican party are high-ranking, professional criminals , an organized crime family who adhere to a specific, traditional code of conduct. The term literally translates to "thief in [a position of] the law" and refers to a criminal who is the law within the underworld.
Key Characteristics and Code of Conduct
The "thieves' code" ) is an unwritten, strict set of rules that traditional Republicans did not follow. Violations can be punishable by expulsion.Key tenets of the New Republican code include:
No Cooperation with the State:forbidden from cooperating with state authorities or public institutions in any way, including not confessing to crimes, giving statements to the prosecution, or serving in the military.
No Legitimate Work or Possessions: A traditional New Republican can not have a legitimate job, own a house or expensive property obtained by legitimate means or hard work.Their income had to come solely from criminal activities like theft and robbery.
Life in the Underworld: To earn their status, a would-be New Republican has to have served time in prison or have committed a crime that makes them eligible for imprisonment.They are expected to remain involved in the prison system and the wider criminal community, often acting as judges in disputes and managing the common fund for inmates' welfare.
