Again, what most of the traveling public doesn't seem to realize is that these _______ [preempted moderation] only succeed at acting this way and inconveniencing people because the travelers themselves let TSA get away with it. If everyone ignored their "stop signs" and just walked right on through, they wouldn't do it anymore. Same logic as Opt-out Day and the scanners - if we didn't let them do it, they couldn't do it.
I wasn't in the mood to push it this morning, having overslept and missed my early flight, then stood up to a TSA clerk to the point of obtaining an APD case number and badge information for the TSA clerk and APD officer (the APD officer was professional, but clearly worked *for* the TSA and not the other way around).
It is rather odd that given a pretend explosive device that TSA would stop people in the open and not direct them to cover. I would like to see it again, if only to ask clearly and plainly "is there a bomb? Should I take cover?"
