TSA

I don't fly all that much (a couple times a year at most) but I think most of us would agree that the TSA folks have made the airport experience a bit annoying since 9/11.

Now, Bruce Schneier of the excellent "Schneier on Security" blog points out just how out of whack their priorities are with regard to their "Secure Flight" program. You should read his post about it, and the report he links to, but basically it's yet another big government database of all of our personal information that the TSA will use in some way or another (that they don't specify) to make us all "safe."

Combine that with the public's mostly-negative view of the airport experience, and we get to my point: if I were an up-and-coming Democrat House Member I'd make harping on the TSA's failures, lack of transparency, threat to our freedom, etc., my pet project as the 2006 elections approach. Just think of this as my free tip to any of those Democrats...
