Well, the fellow has my sympathies. One day 20 years ago I was tasked to do something hideously dull, I snuck off to the quietest and most out of the way place in the company, where I of course fell asleep halfway through whatever it was. One of the ever trustworthy secretaries snuck in and caught me on camera sawing Z's right in the middle of day.

Flying out of BOS Terminal C (B6) about a week ago.
I noticed the screen for the x-ray machine faced a window. The TSA had apparently been concerned about security, and so had put up a big black sheet of plexiglass up against the window, so no one outside could see the screen.
The (unintended) side effect of doing that was that now the image on the screen was reflected and magnified on the plexiglass, and was clearly visible by the traveling public.

I Just Searched Today's News for TSA Images
I got 9 images, 7 of which had TSA screens in them.
So the Holy Screens can't be all that.
The head-games the TSA plays with citizens trying to photograph their unconstitutional behavior is just part and parcel to this agency's overall pattern of obfuscation.
With every day that passes and every news story I read, I become more convinced that this rogue agency is the poster child for what is wrong with the DHS, our federal government, and our nation.
If we don't remove this cancer, Liberty is as good as dead.

Regardless, the unintended consequence of reflecting the image to the traveling public remains.
