Just got back from the first link. Pardon me while I hose off my boots.

I kind of wonder what Ebola is going to do to TSA retention and recruitment.

From the article:

The former FBI agent didn’t say where in academia he in expected to land, but in revealing that he expected to start early next year, he suggested he had a destination in mind.

The mind fairly reels with possibilities...

By the way, do you think anyone will recognize him in the security line if he has to fly somewhere next year?

Great.It's good that he's leaving. The rest of them should too. But the academia thing is worrisome; especially since Janet Napolitano went to be the president of the U.C. system (230,000 students).
Our young people are not being taught what liberty means.

slighty different topic. FBI instead of TSA but still rights violations.
