New TSA Blog Entry - 10 Yrs After
What rubbish;
"The Transportation Security Officers (TSO) working at 450 airports today are hired through a rigorous vetting process and extensive training..."
...think pizza box employment ads.

This is going to be a fun one to watch. 
Is the blog correct that 100% of all cargo transported on passenger jets departing US airports is screened? Also, what are the "Bottled Liquid Scanners"? I've never heard or seen anything about those. If those are in place, why do we still have the liquid restrictions?

There's a huge "Ten Years After 9/11" motorcycle ride heading from Hagerstown to the Pentagon tomorrow. I suspect that was the motivation for this latest puppy post.

Wow, it seems like their 5th was just five years ago, with a much better written press release

Was the TSA using its rigorous vetting process when it forced Richmond airport to get a SIDA badge to a convected felon that the TSA had hired?

This will be a pretty big event for the blue shirts this year.
Dont party to hard blue shirts and be sure to get yourself a designated driver.
And remember, if you get pulled over after your 9/11 party, don't show your fake badge to the real cop!
Btw, I hear the 9/11 bonus's this year will be great. They say you are getting new groping gloves!

I saw one in action last summer @ IAH testing baby bottles the screener had taken from a parent. Chased down the dad after to tell him he would probably want to change out the nipple on the bottle given that the screener had literally put Rover's nose right on the uncapped nipple (ugh!).
