You seem to think that only the lefties who voted for Gore and Kerry think TSA and DHS are a bad idea.
I voted for Bush both times and I think it's a bad idea.
Publishing regulations of any clandestine operations, be it the TSA, FBI or local police is idiotic. You might as well not have clandestine operations. Did you see the Steelers publishing their playbooks today?
No one's saying that they should be published. But then again, TSA doesn't conduct clandestine ops either.
If there's a reason someone is on a list, a case should be built. However, the "secrecy" of being on the no fly list shows up as soon as you check in for a flight. Thus if you're on it, the person should be able to find out WHY, be able to appeal and to rebut it, and get off the list. All the current appeal process does now is ask for a bunch of information and gives you a letter saying you're "ok", but that still doesn't stop people from getting the treatment at the airport.
The list contains names, not people. The list should be a lot shorter than what it is now.
You have all the right to complain, I have the right to tell you that your complaints are without merritt. Just because you think your rights are being cosntricted does not make it so no matter how loudly you scream.
I think the converse is true too.
