So a bipartisan group of Senators can write a letter to the TSA speaking out against a policy but not get themselves to bring it to the floor and vote against it? Which is, you know, their actual job?

Hard to think of their intentions as anything more than theater for their voter base.

You write a letter and hopefully that solves it.

You then hold a committee meeting and hopefully that solves it.

You finally change federal law and usually that solves it.

If it doesn't you have to start arresting people to foment change.

This is not a gentle tool.
