What I did say was that it seemed as if Congresspeople might be paying attention to the complaints of their constituents about screening procedures.
The cynic in me doesn't believe that Congress responds or even cares about what constituents complain about. They maneuver their views to cater to what constituents complain about only when it serves their political interests to do so.
Again, I seriously doubt this is the case with the recent TSA statement. I don't think Congress has a dog in this fight...yet. It's a non-issue until the next round of elections. Like abortion, gun control and other contentious issues, politicians may kick this topic about in their political debates, but they're not going to really step in and make any changes.
