You Can Now Yelp Review the TSA
You can provide a Yelp review of the TSA. It will be interesting to see if the reviews are productive or not (and if the TSA responds). Only 2 airports are in the program so far (LAX and Long Beach) but I imagine it will expand. Right now, both airports have 2 and 2.5 stars respectively according to the article.

Some of the reviews are hilarious.

How in the world did they get a whole star?

I don't use Yelp but I wouldn't want posts with my name on it posted on an online forum that any TSO could access. I wouldn't put it past a petty TSO searching out comments after coming across a "troublemaker" during a shift and then using it for "revenge".
Then again my last complaint to DHS about a specific TSO's actions got me a letter from Premier Obama about how it's important that more Americans are buying American made cars. That's the last time I'll use the term Works Progress Administration in a complaint letter.

Here's a list of all the TSA Yelp listings, courtesy of Google.
ETA: Carly Fiorina's review is here. Yelp removed it as "not recommended".

I had my water bottle taken once (it was in a side pocket of my carryon and I had forgotten about it - so one of the yelp comments caught my attention.
"they take my water and put it in the "potential bomb disposal unit" (trash can) which is mere feet away from all of the patrons. If they thought they were bombs, you would think they would have a better method of disposal."
Does make you wonder.......

Would a person (or organization) tossed suspected explosives into trash bins right where they work if they thought there was any risk?
TSA does!

And something that TSA will not speak about to the public. They know that dangerous liquids are not being found at TSA Checkpoints yet the continue the idiocy of confiscating harmless LGA's and tossing them into common rubbish bins right at the checkpoint.

Aren't they potentially dangerous at that time or not?
