When we have something like a passenger redress system that gets mired in the wheels or overlooked as a token effort, then we should fix it. I will also admit, that I am not familiar with all the aspects of the redress system and have been lucky with my airport. Our customer service rep follows up pretty good from what I have heard. I also understand that our airport has maybe 2-3 complaints in a busy week, so it is much easier. I think (honestly) that a lot of the problem is the size of the organization and the lack of communication throughout. I have been beating my head against that wall locally as well as on the blogs. I could be completely wrong, but from my point of view, that seems to be one of our biggest problems.

I understand that we are looking at the picture from different views.

That being said I have twice used the TSA complaint system. In neither case was the response satisfactory. It seemed more important for TSA to stand behind its employees rather than investigating and trying to determine if there was a problem.

TSA has a whole bunch of info posted about how they will treat passengers but it is my experience that they do not follow through on those commitments.
