Lol I'm a little slow. No jokes, please. :)

Are you saying it was a bust, or just about?

Not another bust joke from the TSA. :eek:

Nope, the only joke I made was about menbeing slow.

I'm actually, honestly curious about how the rally went. As both a citizen of this country and as a TSA employee I am simply curious. Yet I can't find anything about it on the news.

Mrs. Fredd often reminds me that men are slow but I don't think she's joking either.

As to the protest, the MSM covers what they want to cover and the actual number of protesters at a given event does not necessarily have a positive correlation with the resulting press coverage.

Agreed. I also am very curious to know if there was a good turnout or not, but can't seem to find that information anywhere. Can anyone who was there comment about the approximate size of the crowd?

My office was a few blocks away, but I was out of town, so I'm curious too.

I do understand there is no direct correlation. But news stories usually have certain facts, such as number of people who attended.

Or i would like if some of our FT members who attended would tell us, but so far they haven't.

Good luck!

I'm no good at estimating crowd size, but I'd guess 200 people were there for the rally.

If correct, that's pretty small for a rally at Union Square.

Yeah, a bit disappointing if accurate.
