TSA Opens Blog — You Can Finally Complain

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the wretched-hive-of-scum-and-villainy dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "The TSA has opened their own blog. According to Ars Technica, it's beginning to attract complaints from people who are sick of removing their shoes and having to forfeit their drinks. 'The blog's first post has 131 comments so far, almost all of which fall into one of two categories: TSA employees who got the internal memo about the blog launch and dropped by to post positive things, and citizens who are really mad about the liquids screening policy.'"

    that this is just a clever move to find people that disagree with them and put them on the no-fly list.

    I wish your flight would have been on 9/11. Imagine how airport security would be different today if the story had been "4 terrorists, armed with box-cutters, attempted to hijack an airliner, only to have their limbs removed by a gang of Canadian college students armed with machetes".

  5. Wrong Two Categories by alteran · · Score: 4, Funny

    The categories are actually:

    1) TSA employees who got the internal memo about the blog launch and dropped by to post positive things, and citizens who are really mad about the liquids screening policy and
    2) people about to added to the no-fly list.

    It might put off potential tourists from visiting the USA.

    On some of the government chartered flights after 911, the screeners were making soldiers give up their personal tools and pockets knives, but the M16's they had slung on their shoulders were ok to take on board.

    Personally I think they should do like they do with the seat cushions in case of a water landing.

    In case of a terrorist highjacking your armrest converts into a blunt weapon. To use just raise it above your head and with a swift downward motion bash the highjacker in the head. Repeat as necessary.
