Almost-Satire Alert: The TSA BS-to-English Translator

Here's a little MM something for you on the busiest travel day of the year in the US.  An enterprising wag has inserted subtitles into the interview between CNN's Anderson Cooper and John Pistole, head of the TSA.  Whatever else you care to say about Pistole (and his alarmingly persistent smile and bland intonation), you've got to admit that he's a master of spin, spin, spin and the fine art of language that says nothing.  (Link via Boing Boing.)  Oh, and slight language warning in the subtitles.

That is a fun video. Thanks for sharing it.

Any suggestions on how to get the TSA to stop their invasive screening and abusive groping?

The only two I can come up with are:

1) To write my favorite airlines and tell them I won't be flying.
2) To write my representatives.

Any other suggestions?
