Be sure to read the TSA's official response on their blog. [1] The comments there are priceless.

What morons, they use the word "interwebs" in the first sentence to make themselves look hip to the internet.

The whole tone of this blog post though really rubs me the wrong way. it comes across as a post from defensive asshole teen who was caught looking like a fool, as opposed to a federal agency funded with BILLIONS of free money they take from the citizens which they spend in ways which are completely unaccountable to said citizens, and the results of which inconvenience, for no reason, the same citizens -- with methods which are proven to be lacking to say the least.

I am so tired of security theater. These people are fucking dolts, amateurs themselves and are skimming billions of dollars from programs we actually need; like science, research, education and health.

FUCK the TSA.

Nobody will ever be happy with blog posts. If they wrote it like they were writing a tax document, someone would say "look at these boobs lawyerizing every word". If they write it like a kitteh, it's "look at these idiots trying to be hip". I found the tone funny, but regardless of whether or not they assume their audience knows what lolcats are, the TSA is still a waste of money. You don't need to read their blog to know that!

How many failing bridges could have been replaced with the $60 billion we've spent on the TSA? Those would be some nice skilled jobs for people dropping out of our flagging manufacturing sector...
