Folks, it's not about FEELINGS.

Submitting to a search is always going to produce negative FEELINGS. It doesn't matter if you're 100% in agreement with the reason for the search, it will still produce resentment, annoyance, impatience and any number of other negative FEELINGS.

In general, our FEELINGS serve us well but they can also lead us astray. Every FEEL angry at another driver who made a mistake such as merging into your lane and almost hitting you? Sure. Haven't you done the same thing a time or two yourself? Of course. The FEELING on anger, or even rage, is inappropriate and most of us are able to reason our way through those inappropriate FEELINGS.

A more appropriate question would be what we all THINK about the TSA's performance. A reasonable person will not expect perfection but would be pleased to see the significant improvements that the TSA has made over the old system and will acknowledge the areas where further improvement is needed.
