Hi everyone, just letting you know ill be leaving. I never intended to post sensitive information but I recognize that I was wrong to come here and sincerely apologize
to the public.

Care to clarify that? You posted a few days ago that your station was looking for the person posting online, so I suppose they found you?

isn't it nice that CATSA can take a lesson in squashing the truth from its TSA brothers

Well I'm part of the public and you have no need to apologize to me. I know it's not you apologizing freely but under the instructions of some other dhead.

You did not AFAIK post any sensitive information, sensitive in terms of security that is - I'm sure your bosses found it quite sensitive, poor babies.

I would like to know how they found you. If "someone" at FT gave you up, then I'll be leaving shortly too.

Good luck ^

+1 but if you read the replys PLEASE reconsider.

Absolutely no need for any apologies and if you have any say in the matter, please don't leave.

I've welcomed your insights. Too bad you folks up north liked leaders named George, or you might have had part of our First Amendment. Oh, wait, our current George just Patriot Acted it away. Never mind.

Anyhow, in a few weeks, when the heat is off, consider a new FT account as a private citizen without something like "CATSA" in your nic. You can still discuss "public" information with us, just write like you are a pax, and never mention your home base or CATSA affiliation. (I have always felt that all TSA posters here should have done that from the start. They work for DHS, an authoritarian outfit determined to stamp out any freedom any of their employees might dare think they have. Its what all dictatorships DO.)

"Recently as a pax, I went through (insert airport name here 500+ miles away from your home) and I saw the screeners doing (insert same good information). Can you believe that?" ^

Canada does have an equivalent http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/charter/#libertes which means about as much as the 1st Amemdment.

"freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression" is OK as long as it doesn't include (for example) denying the Holocaust, or impinges on good old National Security (to our CATSA viewers - Hi, guys !).

Another one bites the dust.

I, too, would like to apologize. I will apologize in advance, in case someday I just disappear and don't get a chance to. I will apologize for using my position to enlighten and educate you on the TSA's confusing policies. I am sorry for trying to humanize myself and my fellow TSO's. If I have ever posted information on here that is more sensitive than the information posted on the TSA Blog, I am sorry. I am sorry that as a human and citizen I have made some bad jokes. My mistake, a TSO should not be cracking jokes. I have taken some punches, and I am sorry if I punched back. I hope that I have not disgraced my organization in any way, and I am sorry if I am a poor representation of said organization. In no way do I want to be a poor example of the organization that is the TSA, an organization where the employees take so much pride in their positions. My apologies to the FT members, and to the rest of the FF community.

Cee.

Cee:
You better not go any where.

There is no reason to apologize to us. I have never read any of your post that contained sensitive information. I hope that you take the counsel of others here and rejoin us, under a new persona.

Cee, I hope you're really not planning to leave us!

CATSAscreener, I understand, and I hope you get to keep your job -- that is, if you still want it!

This is really sad. Why should OP have to apologize to the public. I understand being forced by the tossers he works for to apologize to them, but not to us!

I appreciate the contributions that people working in airport security have made to this forum even if/when I disagreed with their opinions or activities.

I urge you to stay on contributing and participating on FT in whatever manner you deem fit -- even if it means getting creative so as not to get bitten by the hand that feeds you.

It's a real shame that the government thinks obscurity will lead to security and that they are threatening employees engaged in public activities for discussing activities discernable to the flying public.

as another one of "the public", you have no need whatsoever to apologize and i for one say thank you ^. yes some of us have been harsh (myself included) on bashing airport security but it is in the form of a discussion where we agree to disagree. i same shame on your employer as if they are going to take the stance that they did, then let them do it in here with an official representative and not hide behind a thinly veiled shroud of national security .

again, thank you for your posts and contributions ^ and you will be missed
