Sadly it seems to me that such action might be needed to break this impasse.
I think that many fear they could be fired if they walked off the job. I say that's nonsense because the government, which claims TSA is vitally necessary to protect air travel, can't fire them - if they do so, that puts the lie to their claims about TSA being the last (or first depending on who one reads) line of defense against terrorism in the skies.
