    No, no it’s not.

    Yes it is, those are Fly Away Security Teams (FAST) or Ravens. Go look it up, 95% of the official Air Force photos of FAST/Raven show people without nametapes, example taken from here.

    Furthermore:

    1. I can just take my top off if it’s not too hot. My t-shirt does not have a nametape

    2. I can just buy a nametape that says “Smith” or something common and you wouldn’t know the difference.

        • The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.

            • Who said anything about aircraft security…?

              They are being ordered to enforce domestic policy on us soil, which is exactly what the law is made to prevent.

                Me, I did. That’s what Fly Away Security Teams do, that’s what the USAF uses to secure it’s aircraft, domestically and abroad.

                • Lol, do you think the plane is flying itself? The security of the plane isn’t a problem, the problem is the mission of the plane in the first place.

                    You’re moving the goal posts. The Air Force isn’t enforcing domestic policy. They’re operating an aircraft to provide logistics for other federal agencies.

                    The other agencies are enforcing domestic policy, not the Air Force. The people are not in the custody of the Air Force and they were not captured by the Air Force. ICE is simply using the Air Force equipment as transport and Air Force personnel operate and secure that equipment.
