[Infowarrior] - TSA Observation/Question

[Richard Forno]

A question regarding the current airline security sideshow:

Does anyone else think it odd/interesting that DHS and TSA is bending  
over backwards to say - as frequently as possible -- that "Passengers  
should not expect to see the same thing at every airport" in regard to  
the 'enhanced security' measures put into place this week?  This seems  
to be Talking Point #1 over the past 24 hours or so.

On one level a degree of variance is a good thing from a security  
perspective, I realize that.  However, with the frequency this  
statement is being propagated in the media, it makes me wonder if this  
isn't also a vague way of covering the agency in the event of future  
terrorism attempts that get discovered in-progress like the one this  
week, or is invoked to make it harder to develop appropriate measures  
of accountability for their activities by responsible entities.

At the risk of sounding conspiratorial, in light of this soundbyte  
being used so much in the past day or so, and given this  
adminisration's infatuation with its branding and marketing, I can't  
help but wonder.....

Just musing out loud,
