TSA Changes Screening Based on Blog Suggestion
hhavensteincw writes "Less than a week after it launched a new blog aimed at gathering suggestions from air travelers to improve airport security processes, the Transportation Security Administration changed a practice where some screeners were requiring passengers to remove all electronics, including Blackberries, iPods, and cords from carry-on luggage. Seems the TSA didn't know this was going on, and after the question was raised on its blog, it clamped down on the practice. The TSA also provided a detailed description of their reasoning behind the liquids policy. We discussed the opening of the blog last week."

It's easy to avoid, just don't fly. I haven't flown in 6 years and I have no plans on ever flying again in my lifetime until these fascist TSA practices are changed and airlines treat their passengers with more respect instead of like cattle cramming as many people as possible into tiny seats with no room. There's no place in this world that I want to go to that I can't drive to within a week or so.

That's a somewhat ironic joke given your choice of signatures ;)
You never see Jack Bauer go to the bathroom. That's because nothing escapes Jack Bauer.As much as I love a good episode of 24, Jack Bauer is the man in the dark suit and shades, willing to abandon any pretense of following the law in order to "protect" us.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
