Not saying that's what happened in this case, just another possibility.
Nor am I. My concern is that TSO has blocked all attempts to suggest to the OP on the TSA blog to consider contacting the proper Police Agency for that jurisdiction if he thought the actions of the screener were of a questionable nature.
TSA has for some reason not permitted my response. I have not violated in any way their posting rules.
The TSO may not have done anything yet TSA seems to be attempting to control communications that might cause embarassement for the agency.
I see the action of TSA Blog Operators as interfering with the timely report of a possible crime. Could this also be collusion in the commission of a crime?
If the TSO actions were found to be improper in a court could not the Blog Operators be charged with a felony?
