I suspect that both you and I have too finely tuned our individual irony meters.
I've no problem with legitimate complaints over the TSA or its activities. I do find that the repetitive "bombast" from many here is simply tiresome twaddle, and I relish poking fun at them, their anchor chains stretched to taught that the vibration causes droplets of moisture to effervesce into fine spray. I suspect that were we to take a survey (and gain truthful answers) that probably less than 5% of the loudest complainants have ever bothered to officially complain to a legislator. ....But then, maybe they realize the contents of the response letters.
The fact does remain that few (if any) current or near term prospective Congress members (and only a rarity among potential presidents) would go so far as to alter the TSA's policies, much less vote to dismantle its structure.
