TSA learns things from the internet too!
As we told you earlier, the TSA recently launched a new blog used to get suggestions from Johnny Everyman for improving the airport security process. And boy is it working. The TSA has already changed a practice in which passengers were required to take all their electronics out of their carry on bags during screening.
Oh, so they instituted this national policy some time ago, then due to public complaints, decided to rescind it? Nope. The head office never knew it was happening. What? Really? They say that local TSA offices set it up independently and they were never told. Yeah, but don't they ever fly? Apparently not. If not for the blessed internet, they would never have known that this was going on.
The irony of the whole thing is that this blog was set up to allow the users to help explain and improve the airport security process, giving the traveler a greater sense of ease when flying. Instead it brought to light the frightening fact that the TSA wasn't in the loop on some important security measure. At least they've got it under control now. Good ol' internet. Protector of the free world.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
