Your complaint process, like so much of what your agency does, is a pathetic farce.
With TSA words vs actions are the give away. DHS talkers have plenty of words but rarely any admission or ownership of problems. The recent post by Carraway on the TSA Blog is a fine example. No suggestion that TSA may have some problems, just passengers that are disgruntled or lacking understanding.
I suggest that problems internal to TSA are much worse than we can even imagine.
