Fire John Pistole as head of the Transportation Security Administration

Created by C.H. on May 25, 2012

John Pistole has said that the security process needs to be a partnership between the TSA and the public, and for a long time, it was. No shoes- fine. No liquids? That's weird, but okay. We went along with all the rules, because, hey, safety, right?
Then, the AIT machines came along, and the public said, "Whoa, wait a minute." However, instead of listening to the public's concerns, and realizing that the TSA was approaching the limit of what the public would accept, Pistole doubled down, and introduced the "Enhanced patdown" for those who didn't want to be scanned. The traveling public had had enough.
To restore the "partnership" with the American people, Pistole needs to be fired and replaced with someone who will listen to what we will and will not accept in the name of security.
