No, it was far from specific enough. Say exactly what you want.

Do you want a 25% reduction in screeners? 50%? 75%?

In addition, what functions do you want ended (which would allow this reduction)?

Do you want them not to work at any areas other than airports? (No train stations, bus terminals, etc).

Do you want them to end all gate checks?

Do you want to stop all ID checks? How do you propose they clear alarms set off by the metal detectors other than pat downs? Give both your objections and solutions which will reduce the number of screeners to the degree that you want.

Don't even dream that a petition without these items will be looked at seriously even if signed by 100,000 Americans. It won't be.
