Well, it is obviously political but it is not entirely clear what the solutions are. Getting rid of the TSA without anything else to replace the government's role in mandating security standards at airports will probably make the situation no better. Whoever stands in is a target for the sort of lobbying that has brought us to this point.

I think now is the time to begin a conversation and be open about where it leads. When we say exactly what must be done on an organizational level regarding the government before we really collectively think through the issues, we risk making changes that don't really change anything.
