Let's get this out of the way straight off: The Transportation Security Administration is probably not going to top anyone's list of Favorite Federal Government Agencies.

"Whenever you get an organization that has to be there, sometimes it just starts to take on a weight of its own," traveler Chris Simon said Wednesday at San Francisco International Airport. "So maybe it's just not being managed."
