But that's not the headline. No, the story is us — you and me — and our reaction to the agency's antics and missteps.

More than 12 years after the TSA's creation, it seems our anger and outrage have run dry. Travelers have come to accept anything the agency throws at us, no matter how nonsensical and despite its civil-rights implications.

The story is our TSA apathy."

Mr. Elliott is right. It's a disgrace how many have rolled over for TSA. Your representative is up for reelection this midterm. If he/she supports TSA, definitely vote for someone else. This disgusting, un-American agency should be kicked out of all USA airports and its employees should be charged with crimes ranging from sexual assault to theft to impersonating a medical doctor/law enforcement officer. Its scumbag "leaders", past and present, should be imprisoned for life.
