TSA Apologizes for Being Douches About Gadgets HOORAY BLOGGERS! [Airports]

So, that new Transportation shield Administration blog is both endearing and creepy. Endearing, considering it’s cute when bureaucrats try to act like real folks with real lives and feelings and whatnot, but creepy considering of things like its subtitle: “Terrorists Evolve. Threats Evolve. safety measure Must Stay Ahead. You Play A Part.” Anyhoo, some real bloggers, like Scott at Laughing Squid pointed out to them that at some airports, specifically San Fran’s, defense society were being dicks about gadgets in bags—making you pull out everything from cords to BlackBerries, not just laptops. The bloggercrats checked into it and guess what? Not

kosher!

Consequently, we’re treated to a triumphant little post titled HOORAY BLOGGERS!, touting bloggers’ “first official impact on [the TSA’s] operations.” That’s right, making local TSA offices follow standard agency procedure is “a win for the blogesphere” [sic, though blogosphere isn’t a real word like “the,” so possibly I’m being the douche now]. I’m still debating which parts of that are truly disturbing. I’ll get back to you. [TSA via BoingBoing]
