TSA Turned Off the Machines
 
Seems TSA did back down on the WBI Strip Search Machines, at least at DFW.

After being chewed on by media and travelers' rights advocates last month, officials from the Transportation Security Administration reintroduced its airport scanning machines Friday and said that the public seems to have accepted the technology.

can anyone from the TSA lie straight in bed?

I'm probably not fully awake yet...but I'm not following this.

You say they backed down but the article says they're up and running? :confused:

Remember they claimed that no machines were turned off for the protest. Now they are admitting that at least some had been. And we are supposed to believe these pathological liars when they say "the public seems to have accepted the technology". Why is it that habitual liars don't get that at some point no one is going to believe anything they say?

TSA has claimed that screening was the same on NOOD as every other day.

This article seems to refute that claim. Perhaps they did not turn them all off but why would TSA need to "reintroduce" WBI Strip Search Machines if it has been business as normal?

To my reading TSA did blink!

This is quite true, Citizen. They were turned off due to maintenance or staff shortages.

Protest ? What protest ? We here at TSA know of no such occurrence.

TSA has always groped Eastasia's junk.

Can anyone from the TSA tell a lie with a straight face while lying straight in bed? ;)

I was at DFW that day and didn't see anything different than usual. I had a long connecting time, so spent time walking past the various checkpoints. I have no idea what the article might be referring to, but it's almost always a mistake to try to analyze news articles to the level of detail that's being done here: they're just never that accurate.

If by nature their lying is habitual, why do would it be any other way?

I haven't flown much lately, however:

14-Dec: BOS Teminal C United side, 5 am: WBI not in use
15-Dec: IAD Diamond screening lane, 3 pm: WBI not in use
15 Dec: BOS Teminal C United side, 6:30pm: WBI not in use

Machines Turned Off
 
If they claim that the machines in several cities were turned OFF due to staffing,

how can they also claim that "we are FULLY staffed for the holidays"!:confused:

What kind of idiot calls the airport "D/FW" throughout the article? :rolleyes:
