So, I logged on to TOTV to come here to ask you for any news articles about this and saw that you linked to a blog this morning.

Schneier's opinion blog to which you linked does claim that TSA turned off the machines at most airports during Thanksgiving. However, he bases this on a link he provides to an unpublished news release from a group called "We Won't Fly". The "We Wont Fly" release states that some subscribers told "We Wont Fly" that they thought they witnessed reduced procedures.

So, would you mind sharing with me where you got the information that TSA changed its security procedures during holiday travel. I cannot find any evidence and a friend tells me that she saw the enhanced scanners and pat downs used at two airports over the holidays.

Thanks.
Just a quick search Cuz, but I found this:
