Does Anyone Else Think We Killed PV?
 
For the record, I didn't link PV to Drudge and start the nuclear attack on PV about the 6-year old groping at MSY. My hat's off to whoever did it, thereby exposing countless others to this TSA atrocity and many others if people started surfing the blog.

Now that we've brought it to its knees, does anybody think we killed it? A follow-up question would be: "Do you think that the TSA will use the Drudge deluge as a reason to kill it themselves?"

Either way, I think the American People sent Pissy a heck of a message.

One can only hope so.

723 posts. I'm sure TSA has a special pat down planned for their detractors. :eek:

I'm curious why we think PV is dead?

It's not unusual for it to go for long periods of silence.

Did I miss something?

Agreed. Going silent for a long period of time is a fairly common experience. It's been stated any number of times ... the folks who moderate the TSA Blog are given other duties as well, and at times those duties prohibit the moderators from updating the blog.

Which tells you something about the priority that TSA puts on the blog. Of course, they at least have the blog, which few (if any?) other federal agencies have, so that's something.

My personal opinion is that TSA could care less what the public thinks and will continue the lies all presented by the TSA Chief Liar.

Propaganda is all the PV is, kinda like the USSR during the Cold War I spent most of my adult life fighting.

What a shame that we lost.

i expected to see a post about the hijack attempt in europe and TSA's effort to keep pointy objects off of planes appear pretty quickly. i started to wonder when a few days went by after that.....

No, it's not gone, such a disease like that doesn't just go away. They grow totally out of control, destroying everything, until the only thing left is to feed on and destroy itself. A new post, complete with omissions and lies will come along in due time, with them patting themselves on the back.

Perhaps they know that any attempt to publish will be met with thousands of negative comments?

They have 3,000+ people paid > $130k in Washington and when I sent in my complaint three things were going on at once:

- Napolitano is claiming in public that the TSA isn't really receiving any complaints.

- I get an E-Mail back from the TSA indicating they are receiving an overwhelming volume of complaints and a response would be delayed.

- The actual response I got back told me how to carry fruit on a plane.

And these are the people supposedly protecting us ... and consuming incomprehensible sums of money.

Most? All? Plus various appointed and elected officials and various programs and committees have their own. A small sample:
Whitehouse.gov/blog
Blogs.loc.gov
Blogs.state.gov
Blog.USDA.gov
Blog.EPA.gov
Blog.energy.gov
Blog.FEMA.gov

Don't give them too much credit.

I don't know. They were jumping through their butts to respond to anything floated on this forum until opt out day. When that pretty much fizzled they seemed to stop responding unless something went viral or hit the MSM.

I doubt it. They're probably still holding meetings as to how they're going to approach their statements as to how the TSA plans to deal with the ongoing problem of TSA employees who like child porn.

they're baaaaack!

after a 20-day silence, two posts in the last 24 hours:
- a post-tornado STL puppy piece, concluding with "The response of our crew at STL came as no surprise. This is just one example of the caliber of employees we’ve hired at airports nationwide."
- the expected "OBL is dead, but the fight goes on" piece.
