I will note that the statement on the TSA blog shows remarkable restraint. It focuses primarily on Mr. Hernandez and on his two injured co-workers. It doesn't take advantage of the tragedy to call for TSA expansion, as many here have feared.
And, perhaps most importantly in my eyes, the statement was issued a week after the events occurred. No "off-the-cuff" remarks that have to be retracted or walked back later (as has happened so often in the past).
