No, declining to remove one's shoes at the WTMD is not a "stand" against government tyranny. Mainly because the government, in the form of the TSA website, does not
require or demand their removal. What it is is a stand against individual tyranny in the form of TSA staff who insist that removal is required. You probably disagree (judging by your choice of adjective), but I believe that it is both worthwhile and necessary to resist any unlawful or unsanctioned acts perpetrated by the Securty Machine.
Tyranny ? Probably not. Oppression ? Maybe. Intimidation ? For sure.
Not this cupcake.
Now, wanna debate how ID for complaining differs from tyranny ?
