So how many people who have been critical about the TSA on this issue have written or called their congressperson and Senators?

I'm guessing it's zero.

Which only goes to prove: talk is cheap.. it's easy to complain.. but when it comes to actually doing something valuable, most people shirk their responsibility.

Don't worry, it's typical human behavior... I posted in TravelBuzz about a valuable part of legislation expiring in November.. legislation that is particularly beneficial to travellers.. it contained contact info for congress.. the post got 64 reads and 1 response.. and quickly dropped off the radar..

(contrast: a 3-day old post in TravelBuzz about crying babies which has gotten 1500 reads and 70 responses)
