It would seem that if the Supreme Court stood behind the decision of a lower court on the issue of filming police, then the same scenario would fit the TSA Administrators and employees.
Recently, the TSA said that filming the TSA was terrorism and that anyone who films the TSA is a terrorist. Additionally, a reporter for Infowars was threatened with arrest because he was filmingTSA operations at an airport. So, now what will the TSA do?

Eleanor Roosevelt's Secret Service agents were photographed with her when she traveled by rail. If Eleanor were alive today, would photographing security at the station bring threats of arrest.
Remember how they used to sell cars?

FDR actually moved the Thanksgiving holiday in 1939. There was a big uproad:

I have two responsibilities this year. 1--show up at one daughter's house Thursday evening for dinner. 2--show up at the other daughter's house Sunday evening for dinner.
The last few years, my responsibilities were to get my wife and myself to the house of whichever daughter was serving dinner on Thursday, and to buy some sliced turkey for my wife's home consumption, as well as baking two pumpkin pies to take to the daughter's house.
Johnny
Well, our Thanksgiving is postponed this week, it's a work day for Lady Firestorm so we're putting it off until Saturday. My preparation? Staying out of Lady Firestorm's kitchen while she's working her turkey magic! I'll be safely sequestered in the Chugger Barn until it's dinnertime.
I'm the "run to whatever store is opemn because we forgot something" person.....
I'm the grocery shopper-every week in fact. I'm also the roadie-somebody has to clean up.
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
While preparing for this Thanksgiving, I keep a sharp eye on the fiscal cliff.
Eleanor asked me to interject a new question that is more appropriate for the holiday:
What is YOUR job in preparing for thiliday? Do you cook...clean...watch the kids...supervise?
Lets hear about what you to in preparation for the Thanksgiving feast!!!!
Firelock76 Per Zugman's comment about slavery down South and the poorly paid industrial workers in the Northeast, and few people knowing about the latter, you've got to remember that in the years after the Civil War American history was hijacked by the Ivy Leaguers, so much so that by the 1920's a Southern writer (wish I could remember his name!) bitterly commented "The history of the United States is the history of New England!" All the greatness in this country originated in New England, the rest of the country's people were just "also rans," at least according to the Ivy Leaguers. And of course, NOTHING bad EVER happened up North that the Yankees were responsible for!

A few years ago my wife bought me an old history text book she found at a local antique store. The copyright date on my edition was around 1907, but the the first editions were older dating to the early 1890s.
It is very apparent that there was still a lot of animosity by some Northerners (at least those writing the text book) against the South, almost 30 years after the war. It's no wonder that the evils of others were highlighted while one's own evils are glossed over or ignored completely.
I must say the book is interesting in it's view points, on all of US history not just the Civil War. To say it's not PC is an understatement. Those today who are all for free speech and against burning books would probably flick their Bic (disposable cigarette lighter, for those that don't know) at this one.

Firelock,
To be honest I don't recall any New Englander bad mouthing that President whose name evades me. I do well recall New Englanders who were abolitionists and wanted him to act earlier and more forcefully against slavery. I also recall a wing of the party led by a New Yorker, Horace Greeley, who wanted to simply let the Confederacy go its own way rather than continue the terrible war. But I don't recall New England critics. Perhaps you could enlighten me; I don't doubt but there were some.
After all, there is the tribute:
"And here we have good old Boston
The home of the bean and the cod
Where the Lowells speak only to Cabots
And the Cabots speak only to God."

Quoting Firelock: "On the other hand, the Virginians hijacked the South's history of the Civil War, which is why we call it "Pickett's Charge", not the "Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Charge." "
Yes, there were brigades from several Divisions, not just from George Pickett's--and they were not all from the same corps. Incidentally, I was taught that it was the Charge of Pickett's Division--even though the men involved were from several divisions, including that of my paternal grandfather (born in 1842); General Pickett was in the I Corps (James Longstreet commanding), and my grandfather (40th Virginia Infantry) was in the III Corps (A. P. Hill commanding).
As to proper names for battles, the first major battle in Virginia was called by the victors, "Manassas," and the second battle in the same area was called by the victors, "the Second Battle of Manassas." The losers in both battles said they had fought at Bull Run.
Re: Hostess - On some radio news program today (sorry, can't remember which one, or find it right now), one commentator said a major portion of the economic problem with Hostess was the high cost of sugar. One potential buyer is a conglomerate from Mexico (something like "Bimbo" ?!?) that has access to lower-cost sugar from there.

Now John, take it easy, I wasn't slamming all New Englanders, just the snobby ones. The fact remains there were some not-nice things that happened in all parts of the country but the late 19th and early 20th Century historians who just happened to be Ivy Leaguers gave their own part of the country a pass. It's true, but it's not your fault, so relax.
Oh, and that fine gent from Illinois that someone should make a movie about? Some nasty things were said about him in his lifetime that would make your hair stand on end, and not just by Southerners. Some Boston Beacon Hill snobs had very little good to say about that "hick" from the midwest who thought he could be president. Kind of proved them wrong, didn't he? So did all those midwesterners who came to the fore during those years, like Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and Custer, to name a few.
Pardon the late arrival.
I like a couple of Twinkies every now and then. For a change of pace, if nothing else.
I haven't seen any mention of the reports that the top executives all got huge raises last year.
Apparently most, if not all, of those raises have been rolled back, but they still amounted to well over $3 million, given as the company was filing for bankruptcy.
Negotiations are reported to be underway that may allow the company to stay open.
Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
As a New Englander without an Ivy League education please allow me to point out there before the Civil War there was another part of the country beside the north and the south: The northwest which was the states west of the Appalachian mountains. These states produced some important people such as Lewis Cass who gave us popular sovereignty, Stephen A. Douglas who gave us the first land grant railroads, the Mobile and Ohio and the Illinois Central. Kentucky gave us Henry Clay who was pretty important in his day as well as a leading Senator and Secretary of War named Jefferson Davis. And there was one other guy from that section of the country who some people think was important. His name escapes me now. Maybe if he had gone to an Ivy League school I could remember it. What could his name have been? Someone should make a movie about him for guys like me.
Firelock76 Per Zugman's comment about slavery down South and the poorly paid industrial workers in the Northeast, and few people knowing about the latter, you've got to remember that in the years after the Civil War American history was hijacked by the Ivy Leaguers, so much so that by the 1920's a Southern writer (wish I could remember his name!) bitterly commented "The history of the United States is the history of New England!"

And of course, NOTHING bad EVER happened up North that the Yankees were responsible for! Most people are shocked when they learn at the time of the American Revolution slavery was legal in ALL thirteen colonies, not just the southern ones, a fact that was conveniently swept under the rug. As a matter of fact it was legal in ALL the British New World colonies. New England gets the credit for the first Thanksgiving in 1621, but in fact the real first Thanksgiving took place in Virginia in 1619. AND, believe it or not, the first anti-slavery legislation (banning importation) was passed in Virginia in the 1760's, but the act was squelched by the British Parliament. On the other hand, the Virginians hijacked the South's history of the Civil War, which is why we call it "Pickett's Charge", not the "Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Charge." Aw, that's enough for now, I don't want to bore anyone and I'm tired!

But it looks like we swung to the other extreme. My grandmother actually started working in a silk mill when she was 14. Her parents vouched (lied) about her age so she could support the family. Seems like we completely ignore that little part of American history.
With slavery, you usually kept your investments alive. Workers? There's a thousand more lining up... save the goodwill for the mules.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

It apparently lacks that luscious, creamy filling of hydrogenated vegetable fats whipped to perfection. Still, what better way to deliver twinkies.
