TSA is not a business, it's a government agency. There are things businesses can do that the government is prohibited from because there's one very big thing the government can do that a private business cannot: deprive you of your freedom.
- edwhitesell 8y agoExactly. That's why, among many other things, transparency is important. I'd have no issue being on a list if I knew I was on it and had a process to get a fair decision to be removed. However, that doesn't happen. So, we're stuck with an ineffective bureaucracy that is a waste of time, money and resources that labels itself "security".
- insulanus 8y agoI agree that transparency is important. But also, don't forget the force multiplier that being an organization has against an individual, even if they (ostensibly) have to play by the same rules. I'm saying that you keeping a notebook with information on people who have offended you is much different than Amazon or the government keeping a list of people who have offended them.
- sndean 8y agoPossibly a counter example: Public schools can expel students. But, I’m not sure: can other schools (other school districts?) generally find out whether you’ve been previously expelled?
- freeone3000 8y agoYes. Moreover, if you get expelled from school in a district, you don't actually stop going to school, you go to a different school with other expelled students.
