Same thing on the TSA blog. Nothing since 11/3.

Now there is. It's a statement issued by Pistole. At least he didn't call Mr. Hernandez a "hero" (although there are two comments that do so). Syrupy comments abound about how wonderful the TSA is, however.

I will note that the statement on the TSA blog shows remarkable restraint. It focuses primarily on Mr. Hernandez and on his two injured co-workers. It doesn't take advantage of the tragedy to call for TSA expansion, as many here have feared.

And, perhaps most importantly in my eyes, the statement was issued a week after the events occurred. No "off-the-cuff" remarks that have to be retracted or walked back later (as has happened so often in the past).

No need. The union's already on that frequency.

Well, if the statement is from Pistole, perhaps that explains the lack of snark and exploitation that we can generally expect from Bob.

Pissy saved all of that for his testimony later in the week.

...which would have been VERY easily detected via WTMD, and quite possibly missed via BSX.
