Tommy Tuberville just went to the Senate floor to warn that "many" pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are furries and this poses a genuine safety threat to passengers. His exact claim: a pilot "could have a deranged fetish of dressing up like an animal." This is what passes for serious national security concerns in the Republican caucus. No data, no incidents, just a senator's fever dream about people's private lives somehow endangering commercial aviation. The bar for what counts as a threat has officially entered the theater of the absurd.
