Wonderful! I LOVE that idea! One thing that worries me is that some airport cops could kick you out for "distrubing the peace" or something like that...but it can't hurt to try.
I'm far away from the nearest airport right now
I'm in California...but if this policy continues on then whenever I get back to DC for school, I'll be in at DCA
for sure.
I guess our next step is to discuss when, where, and have posters be made. I'll volunteer to make some posters with text and send it out to whoever's going.

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!!!!!!!!)
