I do admire her for sticking to her guns.

Several here that have refused security checks have been refused entry to the gates, meaning they don't fly. While I agree that many forms of current TSA policies do little to increase security I hear more complaints than I do solutions. I for one want to be sure my flight is safe. Sure it would be nice to just get on the plane with no inconveniences of security checks but rather than complain about them I'd like to see serious solutions come forward. Pretty much ALL forms of security in place now can in some ways be considered invasion of privacy. No way around that. So what ideas do others have to ensure security that would be acceptable?

You have a choice to fly or not. She chose not to.

Perhaps because a few congress critters are beginning to question TSA.

This Congress person (not 'critter') is a STATE Representative. She has the exact same power over the TSA as any other voter. No more, no less.
