Take just about any agency, any organization, any company, or any individual, publish a negative story about them, and people eat it up.
It's interesting, the other "event" I referenced made the local news, but when it came out that the pax was not honest, no news story about that. I doubtthere will be a news story about this dishonest pax. As far as the "public" will know, some bad things happened at SAT. Negativity sells, it always has, always will. Heck, reporters consider feel good stories to not be real news; we want to see peolpe bleed. I do and do not blame the media, they have to make money too, and make no mistake, the media is there just to make money like any other corporation. When all that is published is negativity, how far does that go to influence people. Yet at the same time, that is published because that is what people want to read.
Some of what you say is correct but TSA has crossed a line that will not go away. This isn't about this one story. It is a much larger problem.
To me it's like a person with substance abuse issues, until they get to the point of admitting their problem no corrective action can be taken.
TSA has a problem but refuses to acknowledge that corrective action is required.
I just hate to see where rock bottom will take us.
