Kudos for reaching out to your Senator and being part of the democratic process, but good luck on getting a Senator to really care about this issue. Given that we're drowning in debt, unemployment and facing the worse economic conditions since the great depression, I highly doubt that you'll find a lot of political will to push in the Senate for the repeal of a minor regulation that is an issue for a small subset of a small subset of a small subset of a small subset of the population.

You might want to consider just letting go. The TSA rules have almost no bearing on either my work or personal travel. I'm not sure why it would be different for others.
