Right, this is in the same bucket as the disclaimers on TV, e.g. the following in no way represents the viewpoints of this station. You as a person have more free speech than you as a representative of your employer.

He's not speaking for them; he's speaking for himself — for all of us, really — as someone who has seen their practices, many of them controversial, from an insider's perspective. That's an invaluable (and otherwise largely unavailable, or at best, irredeemably subject to spin) contribution to the dialogue we, as a society, should be having about the TSA's form and function. Muzzling him a priori because he happens to have that perspective does disservice to everyone, including the TSA.
