I had my first experience opting out this week on a business trip and while it wasn't as nasty/unprofessional as Wil's encounter, it infuriates me to have our country treating people like this. With the TSA asking for legal backing to continue groping minors without parental consent and occupying a train platform this week, it's clear that they're not going to stop their power grab until enough people start pushing back. Here's a blog entry I just posted, noting there are over a dozen petition sites totaling about 70,000 signatures but fragmented by political affiliations. We need to coordinate if we're going to put this beast back on a short leash: http://donbcivil.blogspot.com/2011/04/coordinating-fight.html
