Yeah, and I let my elected representatives know exactly how I feel when they do things that I don't like. Your point?

You know what both groups (TSA and congress) share in common? I little motto of mine: "Those who can, do. Those who can't work for the government." It applies to politicians and screeners both, as it turns out.

Besides which, it actually does take a bit of cajones to unload on a screener. Typically, the power tripping shoe shizzies and wand wizards who provoke this type of response are all to busy to complain to the LEO present. I actually had that happen once in ORD--until the wand wizard in question realized that the watch commander from the CPD at ORD was getting friendly with the person who actually had the cajones to question him/her. Amazing what can happen when you have the professional part of airport security (eg, LEOs) on your side. I was told by this guy "if you question me or my supervisor, you will not fly today." I not only boarded the plane, but did so with the thanks of the CPD and American Airlines. Unlike the millitant wand wizards, who are willing to hide behind the "I have orders" defense (which, if you are student of history, kind of failed for the Nazi's) I am perfectly willing to take a stand for what I consider right and wrong.
