Chance for Too Much Information from TSA?

Since everyone has a blog (including yours truly) it only seems fair that the Transportation Security Administration has launched its graphically-spiffy, movie-title-sounding Evolution of Security blog.

From the TSA's press release:

"We at TSA understand the 'why' of the security process and the reasoning behind it, but the public's perception of TSA is based solely on their checkpoint experience. We need to do a better job of explaining the 'why," said TSA Administrator Kip Hawley. "This blog is aimed at providing an interactive forum where people can share feedback and get answers."

Good point from Hawley. Travelers should expect, in the least, a "why" they're being pulled aside for extra screening, or seem suspicious based on behavior profiling or can't take seemingly innocuous items on a plane with them.

Expect to hear from TSA administration heads as well as security screeners we all meet during our travels, according to the agency.
