The TSA has become an acronym many Americans have come to dread. From too-close-for-comfort pat-downs to virtually nude snapshots, people are accusing the Transportation Security Administration of going too far time and time again. The federal government has spent an estimated 60 billion dollars on the TSA since 9/11, but the agency has seen an approval rating of only 54 percent as of late which, oddly enough, is more support than even President Obama or Mitt Romney has received in the polls. So why is the TSA more popular than politicians? Amie Stepanovich, associate litigation counsel for EPIC, joins RT's Liz Wahl to discuss this.

Kissinger was spotted on Friday at LaGuardia airport in New York, getting routed to the pat-down line while going through security. Freelance reporter Matthew Cole recognized him -- something the TSA agent checking identification did not.

Kissinger was in a wheelchair, not because he couldn't walk, but because, Cole surmised, it was a long walk to the gate. In the search area, Kissinger was subjected to what Cole called "the full Monty" of the usual groping. "He stood with his suit jacket off, and he was wearing suspenders. They gave him the full pat-down. None of the agents seemed to know who he was," he says. Washington Post
