Although people moan non-stop about how awful and evil government is (particularly Americans!), I personally think it's apathy in the general public that is far more damaging to society than anything else. Just remember how those senators and congressmen got there - the American public (not that this problem is unique to America by any means).

"Many of the TSA procedures and policies referenced in a recent opinion piece are no longer in place or are characterized inaccurately."

You nailed it! The blog just posted a response at 4:54PM Eastern to this issue. And by a suit, not Blogger Bob.

It was posted for all of an hour before another post with their weekly weapons count moved it down the page.
I wonder what LuAnn's security background is or is she just the lucky bureaucrat tasked with providing a response.

Slate TSA Article
Here is an article from Slate which defends many TSA practices. I am curious about what everyone thinks of it. http://www.slate.com/blogs/saletan/2..._officers.html

Anyone who assaults those rights and freedoms with the flimsy excuse that they're keeping us safe from people who want to assault our rights and freedoms is not a true American, they're an enemy of this country and all it stands for, just as much as those imbeciles who blow themselves up out of rabid hatred and bigotry.
