While you directed your comments to someone else, I don't advocate shutting up about it. In fact, I advocate the opposite. But do more than just b.tch and whine on FlyerTalk. And that's the huge difference, my friend. Passengers DO have the right to do something about it, but many of them DON'T. Look at some of the comments made in here by the frequent whiners, and all of them believe it is a waste of time to submit a complaint either directly to the TSA checkpoint supervisor or to submit a letter/email to the FSD or airline station manager. Very few, if any, even bother to consider the notion of writing their Congresscritter.

No such options existed for the Jews in Nazi Germany or, for all intents and purposes, for those Germans who disagreed with the Nazis.

What I find stupid about the comparisons with Rosa Parks or the Jews in Germany is that passengers today DO have an option. THEY didn't. But not once have I advocated "shut up and do as you're told." I know you didn't accuse me of this, but I want to make this distinction so you understand why I think the Rosa Parks comparison is so inappropriate.

I agree with you: when good men do nothing, evil prevails. I don't think what happens at TSA checkpoints is evil, but I do agree that there's plenty of room for improvement, and that no one deserves to be verbally abused.
