Ask the pilot

Propped up by a culture of fear, TSA has become a bureaucracy with too much power and little accountability. Where will the lunacy stop?

    When the Revolution comes, I'll lead the charge on airport screening stations.

    I wonder if TSA really understands the extent to which they are venomously despised. They must not. I hate them so much that I should probably no longer fly, because I don't trust my self-control. (I am, usually, an easygoing person.) It isn't just me; I hear my fellow travelers swearing under their breath.

    I can think of a dozen issues that are considerably more important for the new president to attend to. But honestly, I can't think any of them would improve my short-term quality of life more than immediately and profoundly reforming the TSA screening system.
