These statements are completely untrue. It's been documented that negative attitudes toward the TSA are correlated with the amount of flying people do. Take me: I'm an anti-TSA blogger, and I'm also a frequent flyer, 4 decades from SS or Medicare, doing very well financially thank you, and the tea party!?!?! Spare me. I am crusading against the TSA because I am a feminist, because no means no, because when men try to create and share nude images of my body I was taught to alert the authorities who would arrest the perverts. I hate the TSA because I believe in the American ideals of innocent until proven guilty and getting a warrant or probable cause before you search someone. Tea party? No. In fact, of all the activists I've been working with on this issue, not one is a big rah-rah tea party type and more are far-left than are far-right. Where are you getting your information?
