And they said "OMG The TSA is doing this!" as the intro link to the article. So by the time DarkJedi reads the story he already has an opinion about it. When, as anyone can see plain as fucking day - the story DOES NOT STATE THAT. Just read the god damn article!
It's the main problem with society today. People get referenced to a story and the person referencing says "this story says this". So before the person even reads it - their mind is already made up on what the story says.
People need to learn something very basic when it comes to news and media outlets.
Correct way: Legitimize facts and then form an opinion.
Wrong way: Form an opinion and then try to legitimize it.

Last January I had to be in Vegas for a family thing so we drove from So Cal (interesting drive). I saw a large passenger bus driving 85 mile an hour in the fast lane, tailgating cars to move them out of his way. It was so bad I called the highway patrol.
We need someone to be watching over these bus drivers. Truckers too. While generally truckers are very safe, I've read reports about the hours they work. That's scary.
