Missing footage? The TSA posted the complete footage from nine different cameras since the "main" footage is spliced from the different camera views.

Who to believe? Nine timestamped camera feeds or the crazy woman trying to cover her *** after lying on her blog? I liked her comments on wanting to "move past it" and how she was just using her "freedom of speech" though. Doesn't sound at all like someone trying to stop talking about a story she can't support.

The next days entry said that yes, there were some inconsistencies, but also that there was some footage missing from the video that was released. I imagine the truth is somewhere in between.


Not really seeing any missing footage. From the point she exits the cage/holding area, she is never further away than five feet from her child. If she was concerned about having her back being turned on the stroller, all she would have had to do is take two steps back to have it in her sight (hard to tell at some points because of the blur). However, at no point is the child out of her arms or the stroller.

Throwing this to overreaction/attention whoring imo.

At least be creative and let your baby roll in front of a train or something. Sheesh.

Is that an online homeland security degree?

Seriously, who gives out a degree in "security and intel?"

If you have to ask, you'll never get your degree.

There are accredited degrees in Security & Intelligence, Cryptography, Counterterrorism, and Cybersecurity. About 80% the people involved in them do system defense contracting and the other 20% do the opposite. Occasionally stuff is crosslisted under political science, criminal justice and the ilk.

Also, what Jophiel said.

The first challenge... is to find it.

[Montage of Kaolian waterboarding various people, pan over seemingly normal cottage]

The second challenge... is to lift it.

[Camera switches to Kaolian and his wombat companion]

Let's graduate. [cha-click]

The third challenge... is to keep it.

[Shot of ninjas scurrying over Kaolian's house]

The third challenge... NEVER ends.

[Rapid showing of action shots, including at least thirty ninjas, five war elephants, two tanks and a plane crash ]

That's the pitch. I was thinking we could call it something fresh, something that people won't associate with another film.

How about "The Graduate"?

I understand cybersecurity and cryptography, I just didn't see how that had anything to do with the TSA, airport security, or the OP.

Its a completely unrelated field. There isn't any expertise to transfer over except what one can know with common sense.

Even if she was telling the complete truth, I still don't sympathize with her at all.

And this is coming from someone that thinks 95% of the post-9/11 airport security measures are completely useless frauds designed to mollify easily frightened simpletons. I'd criticize the stupidity of the system, but I wouldn't cry over being traumatized.

Yeah, but the analog Security and Intelligence systems does have stuff to do with airport security. Not ground floor level stuff, that's mostly law enforcement equivalency.

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, class of 2002. Prescott, AZ campus (no party school for me!) I started out in aerospace engineering, some @#%^ crashes a plane into a building, suddenly no one is hireing engineerrs, so I switched.)
