1. Thanks for posting that. For those who are flying next week,

it would be very valuable to comment on their experience with the security screening directly to the TSA. I hope lots of people will take the time to do just that. I will. I've bookmarked the page. I'll send a comment, whether the experience is good or bad.

2. Liken this to a pressure relief valve on a pressure cooker.

Feedback = steam. And we all know the fate of steam. It dissipates and disappears into thin air. But, fleeting as it is, it sure does provide relief for a high-pressure situation.

Relieve the pressure, avoid an explosion. They know this.

4. Or maybe many folk at TSA are hard-working civil servants who want to do their jobs well

and would appreciate helpful feedback about what they could do better

5. Or...

Maybe they are a tyrannical appendage of our federal government.

Or...

Maybe they are sex offenders who should be in prison.

Or...

9. Labelling TSA personnel as "sex offenders" seems to me a broadbrush smear

[Subdivisions]

10. Every last one of their screeners who has touched another person

in their private areas is a sex offender as far as I am concerned.

3. On YOUR computer, maybe.

Then again, posting a glowing review of "the massage with a happy ending" might be exactly what they're looking for.

7. Huh? What do you think is on my computer?

16. I have no idea. I was thinking what Fumesucker said below. n/t

6. The TSA's "customers" are not the flying public..

Sending them negative feedback has a good chance of getting you singled out for even more intrusive searches in the future and possibly even being put on the the no-fly list.

There is a Japanese aphorism that speaks of the nail that sticks up getting hammered down.

11. Got links?

[Fumesucker]

12. As many as you have that disagree with my opinion on the matter..

13. Does that mean you can't support your claims?

[Fumesucker]

14. It means you can't support your position any more than I can support mine..

It is an opinion, rather like noses we almost all have them.

Go ahead, complain to the TSA, no one in history has ever gotten in trouble for complaining about official misconduct.. :eyes:

でるくいわうたれる　The standing nail will be hammered down.

8. Will they want my SSN, d/o/b, mother's maiden name, and testicle size first?

I better check my orchidometer.
