No, and no . . . but I do think that the TSA is better than the half-wits that were screening pax before 9/11. That said, the officious behavior of many TSA screeners just makes me take off my shoes (no metal and not profile) lower my head and not make eye contact with any of them at the checkpoints.

I've made many points in my life, some when I used force . . . but the airport is no point to get singled out. The government has created lists and databases that would take my livelihood away. The President is going to tell us how much better off we are tomorrow night in his state of the union address. If he only knew (or cared) how the majority of us feel.
