After intense media scrutiny, the Transportation Security Administration on Tuesday backed off a new policy that would have restricted employees from visiting "controversial opinion" sites at work.

Wow that was quick...

Behold the power of FR!!!

[ronniesgal]

well I hope they can still watch porn!!!

[a fool in paradise]

Well it wasn’t on the original ban list...

[cripplecreek]

I’ve got an opinion.

[ronniesgal]

true!

[Domangart]

They already spend too much time goofing off.

[flowerplough]

visiting “controversial opinion” sites at work?

Using government computers for recreation while on break, no doubt, and then giving we taxpayers the maximum effort in delivering due diligence?

[lado]

And a controversial site would be anything that doesn’t tow the Obama/Democrat party line.

Good thing they didn’t ban porn!
What would all the SEC and Federal oil rig inspectors do all day then?

Put another one in the loss column for The Marxist Usurper Onada. This doesn’t mean the commies will in any way be deterred from their mischief. But they gotta be one frustrated gaggle of ideologues and dysfunctionals.

As is asked so often on FR, where’s the popcorn?

[Zathras]

TSA should stick to what it does best.
Standing around and pushing paperwork.

[cranked]

TSA is idiot-ridden and filled.....

OK, why would we be paying TSA employees to visit ANY opinion site, “controversial” or otherwise? Is this not a violation of Federal regulations regarding computer usage?
