As you can follow here, the hope of many is that large news outlets pick-up stories to raise awareness - and any bad news for the TSA is good news for their opposition.

There are extremists on both sides of the fundamental question of whether the TSA should continue to expand from the current form - or exist at all. It will continue to become a political issue that will be addressed at some point.

The moderates exist on the TSA org (and I am one); but the moderate opinions have no real place in the argument for the moment. Until a dramatic willingness to change exists within the TSA leadership, the guerilla "story by story" public awareness program will continue.
