If this is representative of "out of control" in your mind I shudder to what you'll do when you really see out of control or a real attempt to destroy someone. If they were as out of control as you state you'd have no doubt it was an attempt to destroy them.

Hyperbole to the contrary.
Here is my concern: TSA clearly has unlimited access to these video recordings. And they have total control over them. I, on the other hand, am forbidden from taking still or video pictures or recordings at TSA screening areas. Thus TSA is free to publish and distribute any video recordings of me whenever it makes their case, but it would take a FOIA and probably more than that for me to get a hold of that video. And in this case they published it as part of a PR effort, not a law enforcement or legal effort.

That bothers me. A LOT. It should be investigated. And why in the HELL were the random people's faces who happened to exit the secure area not redacted in the video shown on the TSA website?

It is bothersome and should be investigated by Congress. And I have made that opinion known to my own representatives.
