I hope Anonymizer + FlyerTalk will light Idiot Boy Hawley's blog up like a Christmas tree.

By the way, who really wrote the blog post that Kip signed?

It's a moderated blog - good luck getting anything seriously detracting posted.

Ah, but it comes with a "policy": http://www.tsa.gov/blog/2008/01/comment-policy.html designed to exclude any criticism. "We'll tell you what, not why" it states. Right there.

edit OK, credit where due - they are (so far) allowing critical posts through. As to taking any notice of them, well....

Glad to see that Kip got someone else to post on his behalf. The least they could've done was set up an account using his name instead of having "neil" do the posting for him

Also interesting to see the number of TSO and Managers they got to post, stacking the first few comments. I put a comment in; we'll see if they publish it

edit to add- their mods only work during business hours, so don't expect to see any comments approved until tomorrow morning.

Once again, if the TSA spent as much of its resources on improving security as it does with PR, I think we might actually be a little safer. You know that all anti-TSA posts are going to be deleted and their authors will be added to the No-Fly List anyway.

TSA + Blogs =
Not sure how much they'll censor the comments but my guess is that less then 1/10th of comments get approved!

I think I will go on the offensive about Privacy Act violations and see what reaction I get.

Looks like the anti-TSA crowd is beginning to warm up over there.

I saved a copy of the current contents for reference just in case the editors get their knives out.

I guess the business hours are a little longer than expected, as they did approve my post. And they seem to be promising an answer to the liquids joke on Friday, according to "Chris" who seems to be one of the mods.

Also, the stylesheet that they are using forces all text to lowercase, so it looks like no one has any grammar sense

But, they seem to be letting some reasonable questions actually get posted. I'm not holding out hope for answers, but at least they're letting the questions be asked.
