As we've been referred to in another post about a supposed memo circulating around TSA and DHS, I prefer the title of "domestic extremist", not jerk.
I guess I just don't understand how standing up to big brother against something that could cause me unknown harm via radiation is being a jerk. It kind of goes back to my rebuttal to the folks who think those of us that are protesting should just not fly. If a pax is so concerned about delays and missing a holiday reunion, they're just as free to seek alternate forms of transportation.
