TSA Blog
The TSA has been in the news quite frequently, so I’m sure everybody has a general understanding of what they do, why they do it, so forth. Even though the people demanded an agency be created, the people are complacent and don’t like what they requested…However
What the TSA does, what DHS does, is mostly transparent to the general population. If the general population had the ability to read the morning reports that come across, about what sorts of threats and bad guys there are in our neighborhoods, the general population may be saying that TSA does not do enough…or they’d be at least conscientious of their own lives, their own neighborhoods, and appreciate those who are conscientious of those for them.
The TSA has a blog up that since it’s inception approximately 2 weeks ago, has done not much more than draw the ire of belly-ache’rs and those with lives so good, they have to hunt for things to complain about. Those who complain that there are others trying to protect them…
This blog, at http://www.tsa.gov/blog, is a good idea. It answers questions that you may not be able to get while standing in a 17 minute line and hustled through the screening process. It gives answers to why you can only take a quart sized baggy with 3.2 ounce containers, why you have to take off your shoes, why you can’t bring your favorite target pistol and silver bullets on board with you. It also gives you the interface to actually see what Kip Hawley is saying, and what the motivations behind TSA are.
TSA ranked along with IRS, and barely above FEMA, as the most hated agencies…I think I know why. TSA asks you to put forth a little effort in order to assure that you, and everybody else is protected in the sky’s above our country, and the people who belly ache about this are those who feel put-out by being asked to do anything. TSA does a good job at what they do, and gets a bad rap by those who are lazy more or less…
Enough of my rant on the 1% of people. We all have to deal with them some time or another. I encourage anybody who comes across this blog to take a look at the new blog, maybe ask an intelligent question that could be beneficial to many people, and quite possible, be someone who could make a change for the better, for the security staffs and passenger’s alike.
