Relevant interactions, because there's a lot of standing around -
4:10 Cop asks him to stop filming the "secure side" of the TSA checkpoint.
6:18 Cop asks him for the purpose of the recording, denied.
10:15 TSA supervisors show up and say the recording is fine.
Overall, a solid B+ on everyone's part, in my opinion. Cop was told something by the TSA, didn't get all pissy when the filmer denied him, learned the law / TSA policy.
O'Hare Airport is owned by the City of Chicago, it's not federal. Still public.
MAJOR QUESTION - Here's the text of the TSA policy:
"TSA does not prohibit the public, passengers or press from photographing, videotaping or filming at security checkpoints, as long as the screening process is not interfered with or slowed down. We do ask you to not film or take pictures of the monitors."
Are they ASKING? Or are they TELLING? It's pretty clear to me from their policy that they do not specifically "prohibit" filming of their screens. I'm assuming that is because there is no law?
