On the other hand, Phil's actions, and other actions at the checkpoint which tackle other issues with "security" (touch my junk, National Opt Out Day) have brought these issues to the attention of the public, and thus eliciting more response on these than what elected leaders have shown.
Actually, touch my junk (viral video) is the diamond in the rough. NOOD seems tepid to this social media junkie, I acknowledge and concur on both howevre. I suggest that outside the frequent traveler community, or the more TS/S focused element of said community, few can even recall the stats on phil's actions. For the mainstream, he was just another guy making a fuss at a checkpoint. IMHO.
