I hope you'll handle this criticism well. This forum is not about the TSA, it is about travel&security. That's a bit wider.
Unfortunately, the mechanism that is used to make policy decisions about security in this nation is political, and the people making the decisions are political appointees. You will see more discussions of politics in this forum. It is impossible to talk about security programs administered by the government without discussing the people making the decisions, their perceptions and the decision making process. Sorry.
That said, I agree that we should have civil discussion, but, you know, sometimes the civil discussion is going to be about civics.
