That'll be about as effective as a gas station boycott for high prices.

It may not change anything but it would send a clear message that the public is not embracing TSA's Electronic Strip Searches or TSA's Sexual Assault Frisks.

It certainly will not hurt anything to send a clear message.

agreed.

Having said that, this sort of process does have the potential to be effective. Unsold gasoline on thursday is easily sold on Friday.

An airline seat unfilled on Thursday however, can never be filled.

But yea. boycotts really don't work in this day and age.

It might if you also avoid flying January 1-April 12 and April 14-December 31.

Bolding mine: As do mileage runs and goalie-parents who are returning back to SFO on that day from their place in Palm Beach.

The goal is to force the resignation of TSA Administrator John S. Pistole, banish all full body scanners, and stop the enhanced pat down procedures.
Bolding mine..


Wouldn't that be nice!
