Grrr.
So, it's great that people are getting some backbone and pushing back against the invasive TSA body scanning and pat-downs in airports, but slowing things down in the security line is just going to increase travel stress. It won't work anyway: all three branches of government are far more beholden to big companies like airlines than to the desire of plebs like us not to get groped or exposed as we fly. If you really want change, you have to hit somebody's bottom line, and the obvious choice here is the airline industry. If you want to protest pat downs and body scanners, just don't fly. Take Amtrak or Greyhound or your no-brakes Camry. Bike or roller skate to grandma's house, or just Skype in your holiday greetings. But whatever you do, don't fly commercial.
Then, and this is the important part, LET THE AIRLINES KNOW WHY. Jam their customer service lines on Black Friday, crash their servers with e-mails, flood their mailboxes with letters. They'll call their lobbyists, and you'll be surprised at how fast a bipartisan solution will be found.
Now, if there is a similar solution to reversing the idiotic foreign policy that foments terrorist attacks to begin with, please let me know.
