"A retired special education teacher who said he was left humiliated, crying and covered with his own urine after an enhanced pat-down at airport security said he received an apology Monday in a phone call from Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole"

I give Pistole credit for taking the time to call and apologize.

I'd feel better if Pistole would apologize to the rest of us, both those who fly and must navigate the checkpoint insanity, and those who have stopped flying because of it.

Then I'd like for him to demonstrate his sincerity by making the checkpoints more in line with the values we hold as Americans. We should not be treated as "terrorist unless proven otherwise."
