	Aviation Security Issues - Archives May 02 - July 03
		Congress is a pack of politicians, not security professionals, and their "deadlines" don't translate into better security.
		For all those politicians, Washington hacks, and industry alphabet groups who have acted like swooning teenage groupies for the TSA, you're supporting the hijacking of civil rights in the name of "security." What those power-connected groups don't want to admit is that it's security of the TSA that's being protected.
		What's really sickening about this is the way that slimy politicians on both sides of the aisle are using "national security" as a partisan rallying point to pander for votes and gain a high profile.
