Questions I've asked but not were rejected to this time:

Why aren't Privacy Act notices given when information is copied down? And in the same vein, why does TSA use the intimidation tactic of requesting ID when a complaint form is required? Why is it germaine to the complaint?

If we are being searched on administrative grounds, why is TSA looking for other things that are not on the prohibited item list? It becomes a criminal search when law enforcement is called, but yet TSA continues to trample on these rights. Additionally, law enforcement by extension are using TSA to search bags they otherwise would not be able to due to 4th amendment protections.

Why are so many resources used to screen shoes when by the TSA's and FBI's own admissions that there have not been ANY attempts at copycat shoe bombings?

What possible items does TSA expect to find in thin flip flops that merit an x-ray check? Similarly, what does it expect to find in toddler shoes that can barely hold a small child's foot?

Why does TSA require shoes be removed prior to a passenger going thru a puffer? So why is the x-ray, which does not detect explosives, used instead of a technology that WILL detect explosives?

All longer posts of course, but those were the gist of what was rejected. If I think of any more that were, I'll be sure to post them.
