3) Organize a "No-ID" day, flooding TSA with no-ID passengers to deal with. (Either can be at a specific airport, or nationwide. Nationwide may be more effective, but will require more coordination. Can be spread to a few days, in different regions.)
4) Flood TSA HDq with letters. (Probably won't be very effective, tho.)
5) Organize a protest at airports by going up to the ID checkers with signs and/or verbal protests.
6) Do nothing. Just let this roll by. (No way, jose.)
Why not organize #5, on a nationwide basis. Not going up to the ID checkers necessarily, just having signs, telling people to NOT give in to these rules, etc. Surely we could get a BUNCH of FT people, across the country, to spend a Saturday at a LOT of airports, with signs, protesting these rules? Organizing it would be easy on this site. Then we send a few emails to the networks, and let them cover it at every airport we can hit.
Nothing illegal, nothing they could be upset about, just pure demonstrations. The more we NOT interfere with operations, the better. The networks could show "See, they just don't like the new rules. They don't want to interfere."
(Side note: I may have taken a few hits from some of the more VOCAL TSA bashers, but this sounds like a GREAT idea!!!!!!!!)
