This is almost not worth anyone's time to respond, but here it is anyway:

TREASON: the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family.
This is worth responding to --
I don't see the
on your treason comment so have to assume you're serious. What GradGirl is suggesting in this thread might best be described as civil disobedience rather than treason. But I think even civil disobedience is too strong. Her suggestion is trying to change the current system in what is currently a legal, approved and acceptable manner.
I guess I would consider it reason, too, if I took ridicule of my employer be beating them at their own game personally.
This civil disobedience is not only legal, it's TSA SOP! Heck, I can slow down a line by getting a groping, requesting a private session, insisting they change gloves, etc, ANY TIME I WANT simply by walking through the metal detector with my running shoes on. We all can do that any time. Imagine a couple dozen or more people all doing this at the same time at the same place...
