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.
No problem with this. But to equate showing a video of someone's actions in direct response to their public testimony is not tantamount to "destroying" them.
Else
COPS would have destroyed untold thousands. Not to mention
Real Stories of the Highway Patrol.
