> You have a First Amendment right to speech. You don't have a right to a government job. It's hardly Orwellian. It's not "Orwellian" (the term doesn't make sense here), however what would you say if the TSA fired someone because he was a muslim, for example. I doubt the following: ""You have a First Amendment right to follow any or no religion. You don't have a right to a government job"" > If you self-identify as a government employee, then it is reasonable to assume that someone might take what you say as government policy. No, that's ridiculous. If someone says, "I work at the TSA, and the official policy is X", then perhaps it's "reasonable". Also, had he not identified himself as a TSA employee, none of what he said would make any sense: he was describing his experiences as a TSA employee.
