Then he should push against the TSA on behalf of all of America's passengers -- and not just Congresspersons -- who risk having their sex organs handled by the TSA.
1. The idea of using this event to avoid screening for personal convenience is nauseating.
2. So, assuming that this congressman isn't quite as revolting as that, let's go with the idea that he actually is concerned about the safety of our elected representatives in the screening line.
3. You asked facetiously whether he is worried that TSA employees would do something wacko. I think he is worried about something that many of us have been concerned about for some time - that terrorists will recognize that, rather than attack a plane which requires going through security, attack the interminable line that is wending its way to security.
4. Ergo, if the congressman isn't doing this for personal convenience, he is doing it because he doesn't want to get killed waiting for TSA clearance, but seems happy to let his constituents (and the rest of the public) get killed there. . .just as nauseating.
