This thread is already headed straight to being just a mudslingfest.

(Edit: this sentence above is no longer relevant, thanks to removal of some off-base threads by Cholula, of the Talk Team.)

But I - - and I suspect many other FTers - - would very much like to be part of a calm, mature, adult protest each time I fly, that TSA screening personnel will see.

I'm not the kind of guy who would ever wear a t-shirt with writing on it - - but if I were, my message might be something like:

================================================== ====

Many law-abiding, patriotic Americans privately protest, outside the airport, the passenger screening policies and procedures of the Transportation Security Administration.

And I support their views wholeheartedly.

================================================== ====

No reason for name calling. No reason to write it in Arabic.

Just state a fact: those protests are being recorded here on FlyerTalk every day. And the second sentence is a political statement of support.

I think I will print something like this in big clear type, laminate it, and put it in my 1 quart baggie.
