Be Careful What You Say

For all intents and purposes, National Opt Out Day was by and large a failure. Or was it? The one thing that it did accomplish is shining a light on TSA and the gestapo tactics that the agency has decided to embark upon.

Recently, for those that haven't been following, is the controversy surrounding Wikileaks. What you may or may not know is that not only are military employees not permitted to read the leaked cables because those cable are still classified, neither are TSA employees. Yes, that means all of us as well.

Now comes to light an FFDO (Federal Flight Deck Officer) recently released a video to Youtube that he took at SFO highlighting some of the security lapses that exist there. Shortly after releasing that video, TSA suspended his FFDO privileges and had county sheriffs show up at his home to confiscate his Federally issued firearm. TSA claims that he is revealing SSI, yet everything he shows is in the clear and public view.

Once again, this demonstrates the idiocy of not only the Federal government, but TSA as well. TSA has quickly become a farce and its half measures with security. It's time for the agency to be abolished.
