:D Is that program still being implemented?

According to Ron they get to see the same unclassified info that we can all see on the website, which as anyone with a familiarity with security clearances can tell you means they know squat more than CNN does, and probably less than wikileaks.

Threre is just no way that the rank and file of the TSA are in a position to have access to classified intel, since they can't even pass the much, much less stringent background checks for employment in many cases.

Posting from my phone at LGA again, so the typo count will increase.

Back in the 60's, I. F. Stone was a thorn in the side of government efforts to keep secrets. He was very capable of piecing together accurate information by simply reading a variety of news articles and sources on a subject. His weekly newsletter was always informative. :cool:

You know doing that requires literacy and thinking skills. The TSA is not known to hire people who have high intelligence or who show a propensity for critical thinking. They want people who unquestioningly follow orders from above them in their chain of command. If the TSA employed people who thought for themselves, the higher ups would have a much harder time getting the screeners to buy into the idea that their job is important and that they are highly trained, elite security officers who protect America from terrorists.
