Bart, thanks for your reply.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I know that writing complaints to the TSA has resulted in absolutely nothing. Sometimes we get a form letter replay, other times nothing.

My family and friends have had bad experiences, resulting in the loss of vaulables from their luggage, having to toss medication in the trash, being subject to "do you want to fly today" type comments. I have helped them write letters and complaints to the TSA, and I can tell you not one has resulted in any type of meaningful result.

The TSA is truly not accountable, that's why there are many here trying to make fellow Americans aware as well as sending the complaints to the big black hole we call the the TSA complaint department.

I also don't find the Rosa Parks comparison invalid. Rosa Parks could have chosen not to ride the bus in the first place (as in fact many did after the event). It was just a bus ride, right? Just like the "do you want to fly today" comment, it's "do you want to ride the bus today?" attitude that exists when TSA abuses occur.
