I suspect it WAS used to try to have a chilling effect on complaints. Which makes me even angrier. But at least now everyone is on notice, both pax AND TSA screeners: big brother is watching. Get your story straight.

And to show an unredacted face Cops has to get consent. Particularly of people who happen to be standing around.
