The new town hall

Professor Jacobson sees the screening line as kindling to citizen rage, just like the town halls of last summer spurred the tea party.
In a nation already revolting at the ballot box against overly intrusive government, the prospect of having your junk fondled out of bureaucratic inflexibility and political correctness is feeding the anger. Providing security at airports and generally is a perfectly appropriate role for government. But the seemingly mindless TSA screening procedures show what happens when bureaucracy takes over.

Bureaucratic inflexibility. If the government doesn't bend, it will break.
