A Chink in the TSA's Armor
As I have suggested before, there is really only one way for us little people to bring the Federal Government and it's TSA Security Politsiya apparatus to it's knees: refuse to fly. Only hard economics will put a stop to this.
While not organized, it seems that the humiliating and now routine Fourth Amendment violations are resulting in something of an organic boycott of flying. So, while we don't have smelly unwashed Occupiers camping out in airport concourses around the country, a measurable number of people have either trimmed their flying habits, or outright refuse to fly commercial, like former pro-wrestler Jesse Ventura. As for me, I refuse to fly commercial for recreation (and I can't afford to fly private). If the vacation destination isn't reachable via automobile, then it's out of reach for me, at least for now. I still have no choice but to fly when my employer requires it. However, I have thus far been able to avoid flying on business for most of this year. I am happy about that. No money for the airlines from me.
You know the effects are being felt with the leftist rag The New York Times publishes an article on the topic of declining fliers. We hope the trend continues, and more groups with access to the national media call for a boycott of all flying. We need a National Do Not Fly day, and we need it bad.
