I think, if you want to make a point, you should write your representative or senator or TSA or head of homeland security or local newpaper...somebody. Why make a spectacle of yourself, as the days entertainment, at the checkpoint?
Hmm, well, I don't really care what people think, especially a high school educated person security person who is yelling at me at the airport. You can be subtle and just raise your hands up above your head only when someone from the tsa is yelling at you. I bet you most of the sheeple at the checkpoints won't even notice. It's a form of disapproval that is non-violent.
Also, I don't think our government representatives or the media really care, they seem to like this new system. I don't think writing a letter to anyone will help at this point. I think the scanners are here to stay.
If you've read or seen the movie (The Hunger Games), you'd know what I mean when I talk about the hand salute. I'm just thinking of a new way to show "disapproval" without ending up on youtube or jail. If you have a better idea, let me know.
I didn't say this would work but it might make some people start to notice. Can you imagine if a bunch of people at the checkpoint started acting like they were under arrest when the tso starts yelling?
