I know it won't happen, but I wish this blog post would go as viral as the original. Not that I accept this post as the complete truth, but because people deserve to hear two sides of the story. Often times all people will hear is the accusations of something like this and accept it as fact and the eventual acquittals (or explanations) never get as much publicity. Like Mark Twain said "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."


I agree, but perhaps for different reasons. The authoritarian-apologist doublespeak it's full of is even more damning than the original story.


Agreed. I'm upvoting because everyone is calling out the author on his bias and BS.

Funny how if a stranger on the street infringes on your rights, you're allowed to get agitated and aggressive, but if the government does it, you're supposed to be submissive and cooperative.


This blog entry is a example of how cheaply one can buy sycophants. Someday he will write about how lovely his bottom bunk at the reeducation camp was.

EDIT: Oh man. After a bit of searching, it looks like Steven Frischling is exactly the man to represent the TSA's position. He was born to the task.
