Hacker News Reader

I think there's probably an element of: "Bob, we need you to write something now about this video everyone is emailing each other" and Bob not having any authority, information or resources to actually address anything.

Or it could have been carefully written for a specific target audience (of which HN readers are not a part). Mind control!

Switch razors to Occam's Razor: all other things being equal, the idea that makes the fewest assumptions is better.

Either the government is engaging in a disinformation campaign that is so broad and so pervasive that even the blogs at the TSA are involved...

Or it's some idiot at an ineffective government organization who screwed up.

But if you read carefully its like there is some truth in it. Nowadays people are doing crazy things without thinkig about the consequences.
