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."

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.
