… and BoingBoing.

Source: ~800 pages of docs I got from my FOIA/PA lawsuit against the TSA.

Turns out that if they see negative press on BoingBoing, they get really scared.

That's not really news. "TSA Bob" is his handle here on FlyerTalk. He's even been known to post occasionally.

Makes sense since they did an article about Mark (one of the main writers)'s underage daughter getting sexually harassed by a TSA agent:

http://boingboing.net/2013/06/16/lax...s-my-15-y.html

That caused a lot of problems for them.

And Cory Doctrow is on the board of the EFF (along with famous anti TSA people like Bruce Schneier) and does a bunch of anti-surveilance writing.

I always admire a professional who is good at his job, and Blogdad Bob is a highly skilled craftsman as a wordsmith in the Ministry of Doublethink Propaganda. ^

He's not posted here in 4 years. And it's 2 months since we heard from his boss, Ross Feinstein.

They successfully silenced most of the Constitutional debate via the PreCheck extortion. They don't have to do anything any more because they have silenced the debate by appealing to our collective ego.

That's really sad and I grieve for my country and the future of Freedom and Liberty.
