The one thing in common in most of these vids are either a misunderstanding of the public filming rules, or a willful decision to act counter to all the training TSA gives them. I have actually had co-workers that would tell people "you can't film me without my permission, and I do not grant it to you" - I corrected them a number of times, and even heard a supervisor correcting them more than once. They are no longer employed with TSA, but it was a source of frustration for me personally, and professionally. TSA trains our employees from the first set of classes that it is ok to film in the checkpoints as long as a specific set of parameters is not violated, and yet this crops up again and again. I myself have had to advise co-workers of what the rules say, intermittently throughout the years. As I mentioned above, it is a source of frustration for me, because it is really very simple. I can make no excuses for someone that has been through our training, and says something counter to it .
