Re: Things will have to change a lot ...

Actually, I rather thing the FAA, TSA, FBI, and the rest of the alphabet soup pretty much make all these policies for themselves under the assumption nobody will challenge anything they decree to be "policy" for fear of being arrested as a "disruptive element".

You don't actually think ONE person has the time to read all the rule changes for hundreds of agencies, let alone approve them one by one, do you? 98% of it never even gets to the White House to be approved or disapproved - and less than 25% of what actually goes to the White House is actually ever seen by the President, and most of that is the highly-touted stuff they *want* everyone to see being signed...like a proclamation of "Be Nice to Puppies" day or something.

Next up...all persons waiting in line for Customs must hop on their left leg only for 90 seconds, then on their right leg only for another 90 seconds, and must run 5 laps around a 3 meter circle, and then do the "Hokey Pokey". Why? Um...policy. Terrorists and stuff.

The President, regardless of which President, probably finds out about most of this crap the same way the rest of us do...TV news. "Oh, so that's what they're doing now. Chief of Staff, call the ICE people in the morning and find out how they handle people who cannot stand or who have just one leg, we must not discriminate."
