The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently started a blog to "facilitate an ongoing dialogue on innovations in security, technology and the checkpoint screening process". The TSA is not popular so I give them credit for walking into what could easily be a lion's den.
Jon Stokes of Ars Technica welcomed them (in a manner of speaking) with a request: Explain to me about bomb juice, which they did in some detail. (Whether it's convincing is a topic I will leave for other blogs.)
Even better, they listened to complaints and took action!
On Monday afternoon we began receiving questions about airports that were requiring ALL electronics to be removed from carry-on bags (everything, including blackberrys, iPods and even cords). This practice was also mentioned on several other blogs and left us scratching our heads.
After some calls to our airports, we learned that this exercise was set up by local TSA offices and was not part of any grand plan across the country. These practices were stopped on Monday afternoon
I'm impressed. Will other government agencies join in?
