I would say you have a legitimate beef with the TSA. They have no right to ban you from the secure area of the terminal...they have just decided totally on their own to deprive you of this area. I would write your congressional representatives and anyone else you feel can help you and the rest of the public to get access back to airports. People do a lot more at airports besides just get on planes. Accompanying minors, elderly parents, etc. are totally legitimate and as far from terriorism as you can get. I feel for you and it makes me mad that our government has unilateraly deprived us of the ability to carry on our normal lives in situations like yours.
