Which is why I said some docs at TSA HQ look like that one. [Document and premise security is not TSA senior management's strong suit.] It's different than the Fox News-based TSA "intelligence" briefings that I've seen at airports. Listening to those used to be part of my amusement when at SEA. The first time I heard it, I wanted to laugh; but on subsequent trips, it was no longer amusing because there were the screeners huddled together to be made paranoid about the world at large -- well not really at large, mostly just about Asia and Africa -- while passengers were being delayed somewhat due to the screeners being "schooled" about the TV broadcast/cable news rather than working the screening checkpoints and focusing just on WEI interdiction.
