Re the thread on the TSA at Clearwater airport in Florida.
In today's, Wed. USA Today paper, the headline is
Reduce Patdowns, House Gop tells TSA.
"It's time to reform TSA", said Rep. Mike Rogers, Republican from Alabama, because of public dissatisfaction with it's tactics and how much it spends.
The TSA deputy admin, John Halinski, said he would respond in writing.
My guess is that it will be merely a justification of what they have been doing, without any admission of wrong, much less inclination to change.
While this doesn't immediately affect those of us who fly private gen aviation planes, it may in the long run. So far, TSA has just run amuck and done pretty much as they want and spent as they want. If the House subcommittee gets some control of TSA, it may be a first step to the public and gen av being treated as citizens and not targets of TSA.
And most of us travel on the airlines as well as fiy our own airplanes and for me, if I wanted to have some guy feeling me, I'd go to a gay bar.
