Personally, I'm glad less people will be flying and travelling to resort dive spots. More space for me. 
TSA got you down?

whoopee for you but your one experience is just that, you cannot make the assumption that this would be the same for every traveler in the states that's naive but then again maybe thats why the TSA never bothered you IMHO

Allison is right, and even if the enhanced techniques aren't yet in place, I honestly don't believe that the TSA is going to fondle anyone's privates.
I think there is a tendency in these difficult times, for people to overreact to things. But when the going gets tough, underwater and above, it is more important than ever to keep calm and use your head.

The enhanced was in effect....I just didn't think it was all that bad. I have flown on the India Pakistan border and that "enhanced" gauntlet was a lot more intense. It just wasn't that big a deal.
No more embarrassing than squeezing into a wetsuit in front of everyone.

Of course it does ... as long as they're doing it to someone else.KVUE article:

Very well said Ben.
Unfortunately in todays society no one cares as long as it's not affecting them directly.
I tell my coworkers to visualize their grandmother or daughter being molested by TSA and then tell me how great it is that TSA is keeping America safe.
