Or anti-theater -- most of ths list is drawn from the pool of People
Who Could Actually Raise A Stink About TSA Foolishness And Make It
Effective. If Congresscritters, judges, Cabinet members, brass and
their don't have to put up with this nonsense, what are the odds
they're going to feel any sense of urgency when Joe Constituent writes
a equivocal "I don't mean to sound like I support the terrorists but
this system doesn't seem right" letter?
If American leadership honestly believed the system worked, they'd be
volunteering to stand on the checkpoint lines and endure the
possibility of patdown, as then we'd "all be in this together." As it
is, we accept bad political theater, we get... more bad political
theater.

something on them. This is getting to be even more theater djf
"The TSA memo proposes to minimize the number of passengers who must
be patted down at checkpoints. It also recommends that certain
categories of passengers be exempt from airport security screening,
such as members of Congress, airline pilots, Cabinet members, state
governors, federal judges, high-ranking military officers and people
with top-secret security clearances."
