That ship sailed in 2002.
Rick Steves et al can pontificate until they are blue in the face. "...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Bravo, Rick Steves! Every anti-TSA voice helps a little. Even if he's not Walter Cronkite.

Every major travel writer in the country could join forces to urge the government to put an end to TSA insanity, and it would no effect. At this point, TSA will never go away, because that would mean the government would have to terminate the federal employment of some 50,000 worthless employees, and that just isn't going to happen.
