Yeah...but even if s/he isn't, at least s/he is anonymous, and probably (hopefully) doesn't work at the TSA. There will always be a number of people like him/her who blindly support authorities. We DO have rights at the checkpoint - they may be limited, but we don't lose our citizenship.

"The Bill of Rights still applies at airport checkpoints despite TSA's assertion to the contrary."
On the back it says:
"Take the Homeland Pledge:
1. I promise to never question authority.
2. I promise to never bring up my rights.
*Brought to you by the Ministry of Homeland Security."
I wear that shirt for the very reason (besides thinking Kippie's an idiot) to remind those clowns that we still have rights.

Have you gotten SPOT'd or referred to SSSS for that shirt? Just curious.
The KHIAI T-shirt I wear thru the checkpoints says on the front:

Overall, it's been well received. I just go thru security and wear it. I'm never the one to call attention to it.

Along the same lines, I saw this in Francine's blogm from tsa tso ny:
"'Why doesn't the TSA general counsel do something to prevent TSA employees from asking to copy down a passenger's identification when he/she requests a complaint form?'
Because we are allowed to! We have the right to ask you for your ID at any time while you are transitting through the CP.

In flame warrior terms, she is what you call a grenade. Post something that you know will get folks attention and get them riled up. Then you sit back and watch the aftermath and never post again.
