Thanks to everyone for the welcome!
Just remember: You are all very educated and passionate about this. You need to educate the general public. So ask yourself this question every single day: "What have I done today to educate someone about the TSA"?
If your answer is "I posted an article on FlyerTalk" you need to rethink your plan of action.

That said, I do believe identifying the congressional staffer who handles the TSA for senators and Congressmen and personally speaking to them is a good idea. I did that today with one of our senators and it seemed to be worthwhile.
Excellent.
Some Congressional offices now have systems where when an e-mail is sent it is entered into a computer that grabs keywords and automatically prints and mails a response. No human even sees the message.
