TSA ignores the public

As I and others >predicted, the TSA has chosen to run roughshod over our concerns. Interestingly, they claim that we have implicitly consented to the data being used this way. That’s interesting, because in the comments which I sent to them, I explicitly stated that I don’t consent. (Search this document for the words “do not consent.”) I’m not sufficiently familiar with the law to know, but do I have a right to have my data excluded from the tests on that basis?

The TSA says no, but they clearly have trouble with the law. And besides, we need to give those judges a reason to annoy Ashcroft [link to http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-usash134040900nov13,0,6513476.story?coll=ny-nationalnews-headlines no longer works].
