LOL!

She already did enough damage when she was "kind enough to take some time and address [our] questions" on 4/14/09.

Of course not, the rule you make up rule is vague and ambiguous. To be clear TSA SOP, it would need to specify which leg you are required to hop on, how many times you must hop, and how high. Then TSOs would delight in enforcing it.

Is there a reason that no one has posted anything on the blog since June 24, 2009 at 6:11 PM?

http://www.tsa.gov/blog/2009/06/st-l...nt-update.html

Has it not been updated, or has no one posted anything?

Unlikely that no one has posted anything. The blog crew seem to go into a sulk for days at a time recently. Or to conferences. At least they haven't gone off and left TSOWilliamReed in charge.

There is a perfectly logical explanation for the lack of posts. Blogdad Bob went on vacation and left his assistant in charge. Unfortunately he forgot the TSA Blogland puppy isn't mousetrained.

Not only would they be delighted, but they would also believe deep down in their little hummingbird hearts that they are "keeping us safe" from all those terrorists out there, hiding in their "sleeper cells." The self-righteousness of most TSA staff is almost the worst thing about them.

I would wonder if Bolgger Bob has been told to not post any more comments or to respond due to the pending/current litigation.

That would not keep him from updating the other posts.

On disk world it could be a strike called by the blog demon's union....

Seriously, there is probably a some severe regret at TSA that they opened themselves to public comment.
Must be unpleasant being told repeatedly that you are disfunctional.

Has anyone else noticed that Blogger Bob and The Iraqi Information Minister have never been seen at the same place at the same time?

Just pointing it out...
