I DID say that I think it's stupid that an LEO can pack a gun on a plane but can't bring a bottle of water thru a checkpoint.
There are no innocent parties in this. None.
I don't think sitting and taking it is the answer either. File a complaint everytime. Voice your opinion peacefully while at the checkpoint to let them know that not everyone supports this.
It's why I wear my KHIAI t-shirt when I go thru security. Some may it's childish (won't mention any names), but it gets the point across that I don't like the screening. If I'm asked, I can say why I think he's an idiot. Pax and even airline staff often ask who he is and why I think he's an idiot.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly am NOT defending TSA. I thought TSA and the LEO both were bullying the mother. The behavior, body language and mannerisms of the TSA employees left a lot to be desired. They were very nonchalant and unprofessional in appearance. I just can't get behind the woman. She obviously thought they should make an exception for her.
