Again, accomplishing nothing all because he wanted to "draw" someone into a discussion.
If this was a matter handled entirely by complaining to the TSA via their online forms, then I would agree with you. However, my statement was in response to your claim that "Pursuing this matter with the AP or the ACLU is just another waste of other people's time."

Having public attention on the matter is a much surer way to get results, as many more people are going to be interested and putting pressure on the TSA.
