Well, I guess I shouldn't feel so bad that they took 8 months to tell me that they had located what I had requested - information about me - and denied it because it might cause articulable harm to the individual involved - me.

 

They still haven't responded to Chris Elliott's FOIA request. Years.

I left a comment thanking reporter Michael Grabell. He has been doing dogged, heroic work on this issue.

 

Here is the original PDF of the 2008 complaints: http://www.travelunderground.org/MemberFiles/tsa-complaints-3-1-08-to-12-31-08.pdf

 

I sent Michael Grabell a message with TUG link to Master Lists. He responded immediately, asked me to send him word doc attachment of updated list. Which I did.

 

2008? Wait 'til they get to 2010...

 

This is Obama(lamadingdong)'s version of "transparency." Not that any Republicant candidiate (with one exception) would be any better.

 

Not to defend his administration, but I believe the original FOIA request was filed before he took office.

His administration has done not one iota to mitigate the excesses of the TSA - they've gotten far, far worse on his watch...

 

Comment left at the Pro Public article (among dozens of anti-TSA comments):

Whoa, and look at this one:

 

Lisa - Its already happenening, as around the office my opinion is well known and many others arent to far off the mark. I help prescreen applicants and had two TSA idiots in the lot. Which we all agreed (5 of us) was a no-go, but brought in for a interview / skills testing for grins & giggles. I seriously wish I had brought my camera that day to record the events...holy handgrenades it was not pretty, and their interviews were terminated before the skills section. Not only were the interviews failed, both were placed on the local black list so getting civil service, Fire, Police, EMS is as likely a Blogdad Bob telling the truth.
