Lots of readers and friends ask me how I deal with TSA checkpoints at airports. They know I don’t approve of all of the searches and have privacy concerns. But, the airport checkpoint is not the place to argue the issues you don’t like. TSA officers have to go through their motions just like you have to go through the motions.

It seems we’re at it, too. Just as the government made a big splash with its new scanning technology announcement (and we had the usual cast of critics and apologists trading insults, which was disappointing) so, too, have passengers and their advocates made some important — yet largely unreported — progress.

What if TSA decided to stop using its magnetometers? Or the X-ray machines used to screen baggage? Isn’t this supposed to be our last line of defense against terrorists? And didn’t the bad guys try to bring down a plane last Christmas (you remember Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, don’t you?).
