I don't know anyone in the general public you describe. I know a bunch of people wondering what the hell is going, or worse, don't care.
In fact, the only place I've heard of the "general public" proclaiming "something must be done" is in the media. But the media isn't the actual general public.

- mikeash 14y agoI see parents lobbying to remove playground equipment that causes occasional scrapes, I see a proliferation of ridiculous warning signs, I see people freak out deeply and in large number over a heavily trafficked "dangerous intersection" that's seen one crash, non-fatal, in years. People don't seem to like the TSA in general, but they like it more than not having it.
- pyre 14y agoI believe this may be a vocal minority. Just like all of the "children aren't allowed to pray on their own in schools because it might make another student uncomfortable" people. I doubt that a large portion of the population even cares, but a couple of vocal people and a lawsuit makes it a political hot-topic.
