That is not the consensus answer.
Scenario (1)...There is one unmarked door that leads to a critical security area at one airport. Its alarm contacts are broken, and there is a three week wait for spare parts, which are on order. Only four members of the security staff know this fact. Clearly in this case it would be reprehensible to publish the information.
Scenario (2)...There are unalarmed doors left open at airports all over the country. Thousands of people are seen to walk through those doors every day. Despite this fact being known throughout the security staff, no one seems to be able to get management to lock the doors. Equally clearly, in this case, public whistleblowing is appropriate.
“Equally clearly, in this case, public whistleblowing is appropriate. “
And having made it public, who’s going to take action first? Not the TSA or the airport, we’ve seen that. Now many, many more people know about it.
