The TSA limits liquid carry ons to 3 ounces. I think the least we can do is let those in the AOC concentration camps carry that much on the way to the death camps.

Come on people, that's what the latest several billion dollars that Congress just threw at the situation is for. :chairbang:
Next thing you know, since 'they' are running out of room to house these ILLEGALS, they'll be putting them in FEMA trailers or hotels. Maybe re-open military baracks, or old schools.
