The "aides" being mostly unpaid interns cutting and pasting from and/or into template text where the key content has likely been cleared by a person on government payroll of some sort. While the intent of the probable intern is probably not to ignore constituent letter's content and actual questions, the perceived outcome by the constituent may well seem the same in any era of questionable educational achievements and "hiring" practices.

Every congresscritter should be subject to an RPD every time they fly. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Your use of the word "goose" is appropriate there. On several levels. Well done!

Sen. McCaskill would probably throw a hissy fit if someone told her that everytime she's in the scanner, the peep room viewer tells his fellow TSOs 'Take a gander at her'. :p

I believe I've been saying that they would save them for that kind of purpose since the first time TSA stated they wouldn't save images. They have all the reason to save the images as they will want "proof".

You have been saying that over the years, and the constituent response letter seems to validate the concern that the TSA is deceiving the public about how it approaches the images of electronically strip searched passengers in its possession.

I have been thinking much the same as you on this matter of strip searched passenger images.
