What's New on the TSA Blog

The newly launched TSA blog that we were the first to tell you about last Wednesday has been a stellar success. At least, it has if you want to measure success by number of irate comments along the lines of "Why can't I take my liquids on board, you idiots?!"

The initial post, a welcome note from Kip Hawley was so overwhelmed that moderators disabled comments on it. While the TSA employees struggle to keep up with the crush, they've been cracking weak jokes and catching more heat than praise. An attempt to explain the liquids ban with streaming video was highly criticized because it wouldn't play on Mac and Linux computers. (The videos now seem to be working.)

So far, we're standing by our original take on the blog. While it's nice to see such a hated agency do *anything* to help its image, the publication won't be much more than a place to vent. Let's face it: You don't really think the TSA will change anything it does based on some anonymous comments, do you?
