I have never served. So call me a traitor all you want, although I love my country and consider my employment in TSA as a form of service. But don't you dare call any veteran a traitor. Especially if as I suspect you also never served your country.
In other posts I have written about how I think that TSA policies aren't perfect and should be challenged and debated. I welcome constitutional test cases. There is a place for a loyal opposition to any government program.
But I have also written about how the rhetoric of the people opposing TSA policies causes them to be branded as kooks and that undermines their cause. Good luck calling us all traitors. Good luck calling the screeners who are serving or who have served their country in combat traitors. You wonder why people don't join your cause.
