Wintermute's Blog @ Nitemare Cafe

The TSA now has a blog with the misleading title "Evolution of Security." Personally, I think "De-Evolution of Liberty" is probably more fitting.

The TSA apparently plans to actively censor comments, as stated within their comment policy:

This is a moderated blog. That means all comments will be reviewed before posting.

For a private citizen, I would have no problem with this policy. But, being the voice of a government agency, shouldn't the first amendment prevail?

Also from their comment policy:

Routine Uses: TSA may share the information provided by members of the public with facility operators, law enforcement, intelligence agencies, or other government agencies as necessary to respond to potential or actual threats to transportation and national security, or pursuant to its published Privacy Act system of records notice DHS/TSA 006, Correspondence and Matters Tracking Records (CMTR), 68 FR 49503-49504.

And remember, boys and girls, potential threats could mean any comment the KGB Gestapo TSA doesn't like.
