That's good news, because, even if Pissy figures out a way to ban checkpoint photography, he can't hide everything.
Yesterday going to work, I was listening to all-news WTOP, which for those non-Beltway types, is the #1 radio station in DC. The diaper incident was reported on, and the lead in wasn't complimentary to TSA. When Mike Moss and Bruce Allen are making jokes at your expense, it isn't a good thing.

And you really think TSA is more effective? LOL.....

srsly?
We all know what you're checking for, and we also know it is a complete waste of time. I've transited six major European airports so far this year, and not one of them used a magic TSA eyeglass to examine my ID. Heck, in FRA and MUC, you can board a plane without anyone even asking to see an ID. And yet, somewhat miraculously, airplanes departing these airports aren't falling from the sky as a result of terrorist attacks.
Imagine that.
