Looks like TSA is losing its supporters. First Hawley and now this one. keep 'em coming.

On a trip to L.A. last fall, I saw some folks stumbling through the TSA gauntlet in what I thought were foolish ways -- the type of annoying stuff unseasoned travelers do to hold up the line for everyone else. On the plane, I wrote a post about how sometimes, it's not always the TSA's fault. I took lots of heat for that, as I knew I would. Some accused me of supporting a fascist regime.

I still feel the same way about a few things, particularly that some people make the TSA experience harder on themselves and everyone else than is necessary. But when the facts continue to add up, I'm increasingly left with a bad taste in my mouth.

John Adams once said, "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."

This is fantastic - and he's right on target:

But the biggest blame is staring at many of us in the mirror.

The evidence against the TSA is rising up like a stinking pile of garbage.

Citing the story of the Montana 4-yr-old who:

...would not stop crying and at one point was ordered to spread her legs.

As if you need more evidence than that of an agency that needs to cease operations yesterday.

I don't think we have seen this here

I think all of us are aware that the public is quickly losing tolerance for TSA and the abusive practices of TSA employees. Here is a writer that admits he erred when speaking out of his support for TSA.

I think TSA is in trouble and had hoped we would see some rapid changes but being government I realize I was overly optomistic. Yet I think change is going to be forced on TSA regardless of what Pistole and his Perverts want.

Much has been said and written about the TSA as nothing more than security theater -- something that's there for show, to make people feel safer, even though in reality we're not all that safer than we were on 9-11-01. But it's becoming clear that we're dealing with something far more unacceptable than security theater.

As a writer observed in 2010, "it's fine until it happens to you".
