Like I would install anything on my phone from the TSA.

Pull the other leg.

Probably a worm that transmits all your data to DHS-- I wouldn't go near it.

I wonder if Avast! would light up like the pace car at Daytona if I went there?

When you work for a fascist agency, you should expect to get treated like you wear brown and walk in a goose-step. Especially when you flog government malware.

Given that it's already known The G does warrant-less wiretapping on its citizens, are you surprised?

Fascist, huh? Really? Do you know what a fascist government is? If you really thought this government was fascist, why post here? Are you not afraid?

Considering that there is very little if any security at all over a cell phone, if someone wanted your info, they easily could get whatever you had on your phone.

It seems many do not think as the people in this site do. Ive downloaded the app, and it's individual passengers who upload info about airports (wait times). Heck, even see one for SAT. ;) many passengers apparently do not feel as those on this site. Hmmmm

That there are thousands of sheeple out there is no surprise. What is more interesting is why you would shill TSA crap on a board that isn't TSA-friendly.

So we do not discuss or bring up topics TSA related on this site? And are you suggesing everyone on this site besides A few TSOs are anti-TSA? Why such narrow thinking?

There's a huge difference between criminals who want to tap into your phone versus The Government doing so without a legally valid reason.

Well of course there are going to be people who feel differently. It doesn't matter if its TSA, Conflict in Iraq, or the price of a Blizzard at Dairy Queen, there are always going to be people with different opinions.

If that's what your goal is in this thread is to stir up the sheet, then fine. But please don't act so incredulous at others.

I didn't say we couldn't discuss TSA-related issues. I'm questioning your motives for coming on a board that is not overly friendly to TSA and shilling for TSA.

I'd like an app that records the checkpoint transit and provides a supervisor in real time, if necessary....:D

Question all you want. I'm sure some here will download it. And if I post such a thread in another forum, as this app is specifically about TSA I'm positive it would be moved here.
