So, what do we do about it?
Both the dems and repubs want the TSA so they can say we are protecting you.
We can complain on blogs or we can let our legislators know we want the TSA to go away.
Try asking for a warrant. Ask if they are detaining you. If they are doing neither then walk away. If they say they are detaining you ask for a lawyer and stop speaking to them except to ask if you are now free to go.
Stand up to them.
