If you've not seen it yet, this is really something: the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has not only got a blog (as of January '08), but comments are allowed -- and most comments are everything most could ever want to say to the TSA. The blog's existence is unlikely to make TSA rules any more palatable, but it's interesting to know that the agency, which has managed to tie the IRS in unpopularity, has opened itself up to this (inevitable) outpouring of criticism from travelers:

thnx, fun reading. Tsa sux.
Why does the TSA lock have to be cut off instead of them using a key. It seems that Salt Lake International has a rule that if its locked then cut it off, it has never happened in any other teminal except Salt Lake
Jcd … so does your spelling
I find it funny that people think so badly of these same people that take thousands of items from passengers that you would never want on a plane with you, firearms, knifes, switchblades etc.
Let someone pull out a firearm and shoot your ass on an aircraft, who are you going to blame for that gun being on the plane? The same people you say “sux”. Funny how you make it to each and every destination safely everytime you have flown since 9/11 but still want to bash the people that ensure that.
Seriously, what TSA asks you to comply with for your own good is not that difficult.
I was watching the news yesterday about tsa’s screening. What cought my attention was a pregnate lady said that no one was going to feel her up and she would much rather expose her unborn child to radiation. X-rays. The question here is, does tsa tell people that they being exposed to x-ray and the dangers involved? You know, like msds.
you call some pervert molesting your kids or yourself not that big of a deal, whats wrong with you, these thugs deserve to go to jail, this isnt about airline saftey, its about having our rights taken away and getting people ready for total govn.t control, you deserve to be molested you idiot.
