Overall, even at its worst, I think the quality of information and the level of discourse in this forum, even at its most heated and worst, still ranks far above the TSA HQ Blog - a blog that we flyers and taxpayers fund, a blog purportedly started precisely to engage and inform the public.
This. x1000. TSA treats the people of this country like we are subjects, not citizens.
If TSA wants an honest, civil exchange of views - something I support - they need to stop misleading people when they ask logical questions about aspects of TSA procedures.
