No need for that any more since the radiation machines have been removed. Of course, many still wish to avoid the MMW scanners as well, and PreCheck is still the best chance of that, even though there is never a guarantee of anything with TSA.

Not surprising. Being an official mouthpiece of the agency, it's impossible for him to say anything that's not officially sanctioned, and there is precious little real information that the agency officially sanctions other than, "Out of an abundance of caution" and "the actions of this one employee in no way reflect the dedication," etc.

It really doesn't help much when every time a pax complains, a "sympathetic" TSO assures you that you must be lying or mistaken, because s/he allegedly doesn't do 'that' at his/her airport and has never even seen or witnessed a TSO doing 'that'.
Ross has also acted as an unofficial ombudsman on a couple of occasions when he tried to help someone figure out why s/he was having trouble getting Pre status recognized.
Ross addressed the issue of being required to say your name to the TDC and specifically asked to be told if it happened again: airport, date/time/checkpoint.
I share everyone's frustrations with TSA, but even if Ross has only answered one question on this forum honestly, that's one more than Blogger Bob has ever answered truthfully on his vile blog.
I wonder is Ross and Bob have offices across the hall from each other?
