    Not wishing to bash the rank & file TSA, but just trying, for a moment, to imagine the mentality of the person or persons who okay'd this particular poster. I wonder what their qualifications are. Not sure anyone needed an "Awareness Campaign" to begin with.... but it will provide reinforcement to those given over to suspicious minds.

    There have been awareness programs before and there will be more. It is called justifying ones existence.

    Then there is this which also appeared on the web from APOA. Most of the bullet points are appropriate and make sense. But then there's a few that are just plain generalized to stupidity? Such as: "People or groups determined to keep to themselves". Well what if someone is spotting after a bad day in the office or the like? Just wanting to relax and be left alone? But I guess that's possibly analytical.

    Also I get a kick out of how in the TSA GA Secure video, they say "The dangers are clear if we all just stop, look, and listen". Why amusing? Cause this has also been the official slogan for Operation Lifesaver, the foremost railroad anti-trespassing and grade crossing safety organization for more than 30 years. Gotta love how they promote paranoia with a slogan that's usually meant to save lives.
