Until I listened to this week’s edition of This Week in Tech I had no idea that the Transportation Safety Administration had a blog called Evolution of Security, that Blogger Bob was one of the authors, or that they had posted a reassuring video of the process they used to test a MacBook Air with a solid-state drive.
As I said to my friend Henry Scheuer when I emailed a link to this video to him, a couple of things stand out to me:
- Bob X-rayed the MacBook Air, but doesn’t show us any of the pictures, because it’s “sensitive security information”.
- The TSA blog only provides the video in Windows Media format, so actual Mac users can’t watch it unless they find it on YouTube, as I did.
I guess this is a positive step for the TSA, in terms of outreach to the traveling public.
