You have no influence on the process or, more accurately, you have no say about it.

If you are a visitor to my country, I do not regard myself as being more than you/you being less (entitled) than me. You can do everything I can do within the law as far as I am concerned.
You miss the point, I think. This has nothing to do with "what an American can do." According to TSA, no one, including Americans, is exempt from pronouncing their name. Many Americans, including myself, think TSA is not only wrong, but that TSA's policies add nothing to security and wastes billions of dollars of our tax money. That makes it an American concern. We who are American citizens have a vested interest in keeping our government efficient, effective and acting within the limits of our Constitution. None of that is any of your concern.
