I tend to get along with TSA just fine. My wife, however, gets stopped EVERY TIME (she has titanium knees) and almost without exception, the woman who will "pat her down" is a power-crazed Nurse Rachet on steroids. It's kind of a joke around our house how my wife "draws" these people.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The problem may not be the decision, but the (apparent) lack of legislation that exists to allow someone to file abuse claims due to not qualifying as "investigative or law enforcement officers." Indeed, that's mentioned in the decision, with the note that it's an area where congress is in charge and should be the one to fix the situation.
