So.... being as DHS/TSA is under the control of the executive... and since the newsies are more than happy to broadcast live from airports to show long lines at the security checkpoints... which apparently makes Ma & Pa Kettle feel safer....

What do you think are the odds of some sort of security flap and ensuing TSA crackdown before the election? I'm thinking Friday would be a good time for it -- it can be on the news all weekend, but it doesn't allow enough time for sanity to resume before the polls close.

Since this is an ordinary work week, I am outbound early and returning Friday. I think I'll just plan on allowing a LOT of time Friday morning, and wearing comfortable shoes.
