But in the meantime I think I'll just start taking my sweet time de-shoeing. If I can move as slowly as the TSA slugs do when it's time to open a 2nd checkpoint I might make an impression on them. Maybe I'll start deliberately wearing large metal objects through the metal detector while I'm at it... Oh! And I'll leave my laptop in my bag and send everything through standing up rather than lying down! That should be fun -- especially if I arrive early and go through the line a few extra times to fetch refreshments!

But Tom, that is playing right into their hands. You are giving them exactly what they want. The whole fiasco in Seattle a month or so ago was caused by the TSA people intentionally slowing the lines down by going through every procedure they could think of so they could prove they needed more people to run the lines. They were protesting the fact that members of their union were being layed off.
