The TSA Has a Blog

Evolution of Security is the TSA's blog. "This blog is sponsored by the Transportation Security Administration to facilitate an ongoing dialogue on innovations in security, technology and the checkpoint screening process."

So far it's a mix. There are some posts that suggest they have a clue and they are being very gracious dealing with a lot of obnoxious comments and seemingly not censoring them. I give them credit for this. They commented on the story about US Customs Searching Electronic Data, though I don't find the answer completely satisfactory.

Then there's this post, Hooray Bloggers! that congratulates the complaints "about airports that were requiring ALL electronics to be removed from carry-on bags". They didn't know this and looked into it and found out "this exercise was set up by local TSA offices and was not part of any grand plan across the country. These practices were stopped on Monday afternoon." Isn't that encouraging? How do these practices just start? And there's a comment on the post that the following Monday the incident occurred again at BWI.
