You go, Bruce.
Isn't it stunning how long it takes for our elected representatives to even begin to decide to do the right thing?
Granted, there was an overreaction to security following 9/11. We understand that the TSA needed to figure out how to do the job the public expected. We gave them almost a decade.
Concerns started to really amp up at the end of 2010 when those scanners started to appear. Last year, when so many stories surfaced of children being trauma-searched, TSA employees misusing the near-naked images, and then the full-body grope pat-downs -- I fully expected some prompt hearings and action from our elected representatives.
What did we hear from the people who are supposed to be protecting the citizenry? Nothing.
Better late than never, I guess.
