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."

Re:Didn't know?

There are two facts you need to learn.

1 - TSA are low grade rent-a-cops. they typically have IQ's below 95 and are picked not because they are good but because they will blindly obey.

2 - These people get power trips and start making shit up. I have seen people hassled until a TSA supervisor informs the idiots that they will get in trouble if they dont back off.

3 - Most TSA agents are sickos. Every single woman I know that travels a lot has stories of how they are always searched and groped. One executive friend who is drop dead gorgeous has made complains through her lawyer about it, the TSA told her lawyer to basically go away.

treat all TSA agents like retarded 36 year old children, because that is basically what they are. simple, easy to trick, but dangerous if they get in one of their rages.
