It is not illegal to photograph checkpoints or baggage pods located in the lobby since these are "public view" areas. It is illegal to interfere with screeners performing their duties and illegal to photograph x-ray screens. Other than that, you can click away. By the way, I find your use of the term "misguided morons" somewhat offensive and childish. Try to be an adult when expressing your thoughts and ideas. Read the TOS Agreement.
Let's ask for representation on TSA/DHS oversight board. We don't need a PAC, we need some Senators and House Members on the right committees who fly commercial and are willing to listen.
Actually, I agree with this. As I've posted in this forum on other occasions, TSA screeners are acting within the law even when they find illegal drugs and notify law enforcement. Something that your fellow travellers seem to disagree with. Nonetheless, I agree with the idea of an oversight committee because TSA screening should be subject to scrutiny to make sure that it does not stray away from its intended purpose.
