he feels the same. And one of the reps who represents part of Austin is the House Chair of the Committee on Homeland Security.
Sadly, nothing much has changed since I've posted
THIS thread. Goes for both parties, with my area leaning heavily blue. I'd have better luck pissing into the wind.
I will say that the medical opt out is still a safe option as of last week. Due to screwing up my shoulder in an accident, I can't "assume the position" (not that I ever have outside of that one time at LHR) so I get the WTMD and hand swab. I've only ever had 2 problems with it - both were at BWI C gates. I will say the supervisors at least got up to deal with immediately when I complained.
