Bingo! The TSA has become a law unto itself. We need to scrap it and start all
over again with an organization that believes in following the Constitution and
the law..

What should be our favorite recent example: The TSA recently decided to expand
its own authority by imposing far-reaching security regulations on the entire
light aircraft world. Nearly a decade after 911 and with no specific security
threats they could point to, they tried to short-circuit the entire rulemaking
process by unilaterally imposing "emergency" regulations on us. As it turned
out, they lost that battle, but not yet the war...

TSA apparently doesn't feel bound by any laws, rules, or regulations, including
TSA rules and regulations.

In spite of rules for the special handling of "medical supplies", we have
numerous instances of agents confiscating them even when a "supervisor"
was involved and after the person had called TSA up front to make sure
everything was according to TSA rules.

In spite of rules for the special handling of diplomats, TSA has run at least
3 diplomats through the wringer in the last year.

TSA is just "security theater" and has no clue how to provide real security.
