What Makes TSA Different.

"Unlike ATF and other federal agencies with bad reputation, TSA is an equal-opportunity offender. They pick on the babies and they pick on retirees, they pick on pregnant women and on invalids in wheelchairs. They do so in plain view. They also seem to hire bottom of the barrel personnel, the kind of creatures who need charm lessons from skunks and who need affirmative action to be considered for hire in place of possums.

Their current efforts to offend almost every segment of the American people means they will be the test case. What will the American public do about them? This will be fun to watch with Thanksgiving and Christmas travel seasons coming up. Few people would want to drive across the country in winter to see family, so many will fly and get mistreated. What are the chances of TSA becoming the national bullseye for derision, legal and lobbying action and --- should all those fail -- direct retirement actions by concerned individuals? Nobody likes bullies or child molesters, especially those who abuse official capacity for the purpose."
