TSA Lied About Protecting Passenger Data

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the big-brother-tells-all dept.

wk633 writes "A report by Homeland Security Department Acting Inspector General Richard Skinner, said the agency misinformed individuals, the press and Congress in 2003 and 2004. It stopped short of saying TSA lied. Bruce Schneier does say 'the TSA lied' on his blog." Scary stuff, and yet it's even scarier how little the general public has caught on.

    It's the liberal mentality that the government needs to take care of everyone. Where's my Social Security check? Where's my welfare check? Why should I have to work? Personal responsibility surrenders.

    Because it is a chance to blast Bush and generally be shrill about the changing face of government... Every "enlighted" college student's favorite activity.

    All you are doing is whining on Slashdot about how goddamned smart you are compared to everyone else because _you_ really know how inept the TSA is, and no one else is clever enough to figure this out.
