The problem is that Joe Sixpack thinks the TSA is a good idea. The best thing for the TSA and civil liberties is for the administration and the Senate to be of different parties. Given the track record, I'd favor a Republican administration and a Democratic Senate. I'd favor a Democratic administration just to see Ashcroft out on the street. The only way to erode the assumed authorities of the TSA is through federal court rulings, because the TSA certainly won't do it on their own.
