Lettuce be reality here for a minute -- if Opt-Out day has truly become "Opt-Out of Flying day", I'd say it's a much BIGGER victory and a much STRONGER message than was originally intended. This takes the public's response to the TSA's atrocities to a higher level right out of the gate.

I'd say the airports being ghost towns on this day, the busiest travel day of the year, sends the message loud and clear. Combine that with the TSA altering their policies for today and overall it's a HUGE victory.

The one thing we have to do to make it count though is just pour on the heat to effect permanent changes, using what has transpired today as a launching point.

Take unfavorable media spin and spin it right back at them where people can SEE.

We're on our way now. Don't let up.
