My guess is being a cynic, that doesn't occur to you.
Cynic or realist? Maybe you could educate me by listing your successes with the ACLU, elected representatives or the TSA itself which have resulted in changes at airport checkpoints. Yes, you can complain to the above and even to the TSA (when the site is up), but you won't accomplish much if anything.
There have been a couple of attempts here to put together an FF activists' site but nothing came of them AFAIK. The TSA reacts downward not upward and passengers are way down at the bottom. However many of them "get together"; and I suspect that would be a relatively small number in any case.
