Yes, you said that before, but you have not answered my question: *how* was my stating a personal opinion ("It's too bad TSA doesn't utilized its behavior detection vodoo to protect the lobby of its headquarters") and then short-quoting an article misrepresenting the incident?

It was, of course, a rhetorical question. These days, the only people who believe the TSA has any "enforcement" or "criminal investigation" responsibilities or authority are TSA employees - who are, as usual, horribly wrong.

Obviously your "personal opinion" was sarcasm. You certainly aren't proposing that TSA should interrogate people before they are allowed to enter a bank/credit union. It is evident from your "personal opinion", and from the the bolded words in the quote, that you made this post in order to create the implication that this was TSA's fault. As several posters have explained, it wasn't. Therefore, you misrepresented the incident as a failure of the TSA.
