TSA Tougher on Bloggers than Bombers

I've had it with the TSA. They always shoot first, then ask questions later. Not the right way to conduct their type of business.

Unless they dropped the ball. Then they don't shoot or ask questions, they just come up with some random dumbass policy that does nothing to actually increase security..........just the illusion of security.

I think "the unwashed masses" are finally catching on though. Yesterday at IAD, I heard many comments in line about the TSA not really doing anything.

What a bunch of tool bags, wouldn't you think they'd have something better to do with their time, like maybe find the real bad guys.

Since the TSA cannot control their own employees, they have to start diggin elsewhere......I would think they have bigger fish to fry than some bloggers!!!!
 
TSA would have to go through strip-search machines and have a boarding pass before stepping one foot in my home :D

Me: You got a warrant?

Them: No, but we can make your life diffcult

Me: Why don't you go out in my front yard and play "Hide and go 'eff yourself." _sound of a door slamming shut_
From behind a closed door "You can't make it any harder than it already is."
 
Was it ever decided whether or not bloggers have the same rights to keep confidential sources as traditional journalists?

If a "blogger" (ugh) knows about something........how "confidential" is it really?

In this case it must have been "confidential" enough for DHS to send their jackbooted thugs. But the quality of his info is irrelevant.

I was just wondering, I know this question was being asked a while ago and I never heard if it was resolved.
 
I really want to know the exact number in terms of dollars for how much the past 1 week or so has cost us with the TSA's screw ups!

The DHS has withdrawn its subpoenas. I'm guessing some smart attorney realized they were going to look like even bigger d-bags if they pursued this.

What a bunch of f-ups and thugs. Our tax dollars at work. God help us.

Maybe they realized that they stepped on their junk with this one, or the person who leaked the info was found, and the pressure was off. Does it even matter though. It's security measures that seem to involve pax screaning. Like we woulden't be aware of it the 1st time we went through screening.
 
Now this is just weird.

A blogger over at flightglobal.com is reporting that a notepad from one of the agents who served the subpoena was found "in a public place." Not much detail on how it was identified as belonging to a TSA'er.

I guess airplane geeks don't have much of a penchant for satire or hoax...?
 
Nothing the TSA does, EVER, gives me a warm and fuzzy. I really fear that it won't be long before the American people decide they aren't going to take it any longer and do something drastic.

I don't want to be anywhere near the whole ordeal when people decide enough is enough. (But I'll watch and grin)
