    If they succeed I guess in the future an officer could delete your phone to save face then blame it on you.

      Those of us who have asked to avoid the cancer box and been subjected to a subjectively punitive pat-down and fashion show experience are already anticipating just that. Yay!

      (And for added fun, call it a cancer box. Wow, when you get that one TSA who only has bad days will you get a great speech as well)

          Fun fact: Logan TSA asked the FAA for paperwork showing those things are safe. Anything.

          FAA said fuck you.

          That’s kinda all I need.

          I know the anecdotes say it’s good. But with anything introduced hurriedly and without clear need - we know the TSA doesn’t have good track record anyway - the hype-to-utility ratio is too high.
