It astounds me that I've not seen anything in the press since the inception of the blog.
Correct. I mentioned it in the thread about a day of No ID flying as well. The media refuses to ask real questions or report real information any more. Look at how many news outlets are just using packaged reports from companies as their news stories every night. When the TSA hands them a gift wrapped press kit and story they will report it because it is easy and good for Amerika. When they have to start asking real questions and then get "SSI" for every answer the report isn't nearly as pretty nor easy to put together. So they don't bother.
Besides, there's probably a story about some other useless local something that they would rather deal with.
