I'm not so sure the majority is thinking this anymore. Judging from the numerous comments in the Detroit News running roughly 95% against the TSA, I'd say the TSA is reaching out and touching the hearts and minds of many, and as with the touching of junk, not endearing themselves to any but their own.

I read the Detroit News regularly and I completely missed this article as it was buried, and it is still getting comments.

One of the comments came up with a new meaning of the letters TSA.

TSA=Take Some Article.

When I had my several experiences with the the blueshirts, I called my congressman, senator and the airlines and got nowhere. It was necessary for "aviation safety." Then came shoe circus, and water wonders, and kippie bags, and I found flyertalk TS/S. I found there were many that did not like what the TSA was doing, and were vocal about it. I stopped flying commercially, after I was standing in line at DTW and watched a man get the "royal" treatment. The man standing in front of me turned to me as we were waiting our turn and said to me, "I lost men on the beaches to protect us from this."

I think we have made much progress, as I saw few comments that in any way supported anything the TSA is doing in the article. And this after Lord John Pistole, and Her Highness, Lady Janet promised to change the process for the young and the elderly. The comments sound like they could have come straight off of this board, and that's progress. 3 years ago, comments would be 75% the other way.
