Let's face it, the only petition that will make a difference is the big one on November 6th. I'm amazed the TSA's policies and practices have not become a campaign issue. If you care about this, then petition the candidates to take a stance for civil liberties.

A lot of people voted for Nader hoping to legitimize a third party on the ballot. The common thinking was Gore and Bush were no different. Given how world events unfolded, that view (in hindsight) was probably a pretty dumb one.
