The TSA has a blog! The comments are, of course, where the action is. And of course, the very first commenter is a TSA employee who smack talks the attitudes of passengers.

As a TSA SCreening Manager I want to welcome all those who are viisting this site! I believe it will be a positive force for bridging the gap between the public (which for the most part seems to have forgotten about 9/11) and the TSA which is reminded of it every day.

Another doesn't seem to understand that people have a constitutional right to travel.

As a LTSO I have very proud to work for TSA. I understand that some of the passengers do not like taking off their shoes or surrendering their toothpaste, however, there are many passengers that thank us for what we do. We must all remember that 9/11 happened and we are just trying to make the air safe for everyone. Flying is not a right granted under the Bill of Rights and due to the state of the world today, we must all make smart decisions. I am proud of what we do and what we represent. Thank you Mr. Hawley!!

And of course there are those who put their best foot forward for the authoritarians at the airport, being friendly intentionally to avoid getting hasselled:

I travel quite frquently and follow the rules, take of my shoes etc.. I do it with a smile. I say hello and I thank them....

Just a frequent traveler, my smile gets me far!

All of this says a lot about our society. In my opinion, its going to take more than a blog to improve the public's image of the TSA...
