    It isn’t real. The number listed is for the office of Dan Patrick, Lieutenant Governor of Texas.

      Seems like it is a protest against the dumb-ass anti-trans shit the people in power in this state are pulling.

      The text explicitly says the program is for the lieutenant governor’s office.

      The question is, would the lieutenant governor of Texas’ office be involved in something like this? I’m certain they want to, but would they have the authority? It’s my understanding that international airports are exclusively under federal control, not state.

        It is meant as rage bait to get gullible people to flood Dan Patrick’s office with calls. I respect the idea, but it is still very much fake.

          For now. It’s easily doable with the TSA scanners. In fact, the scanners DID do this, before everyone complained and they were censored.

          Shall we wait until it’s implemented to complain? I don’t remember the right order of operations.
