I don't fly, haven't since shortly before 9-11, so the TSA storm troopers haven't directly affected me. It didn't seem to matter then that many of us kept trying to tell people we didn't need all the drastic changes people were clamoring for. People were scared and they wanted to be protected, and if they had to give up a few civil rights and liberties, well, they were all for it. They will have to live with their choices until they grow enough backbone to change it and repeal many of the changes they were crying for then.
My biggest issue, all along, has been the military involvement in Iraq, against all rationality and common sense, and at a cost in lives that cannot be replaced, both American and Iraqi. I don't see an overabundance of TSA jackboots-on-the-ground costing lives, merely being an inconvenience as they trample people's rights.
