TSA Opens Blog — You Can Finally Complain

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.'"

I'm seeing a lot of "Anonymous says" in the comments... is Anonymous going to war with the DHS as well?

Liquid ban has nothing to do with security

[rtechie]

The liquids ban has nothing to do with security. Basically, they don't want you pissing during the flights. Each flush of the onboard toilet costs the airlines around $500. A friend reported to me that China Air now bans liquids on flights, PERIOD. Can't bring anything on the plane, can't buy anything on the plane.
