US should have a different agency that takes comments and complaints about the TSA and then sends a periodical report to Congress about it. From my understanding, right now the complaints are sent to TSA themselves? That's pretty much pointless then.

Are you sure that's accountable and transparent enough? Perhaps we should establish a third agency to handle complaints regarding the second agency and ensure that everything is aboveboard.

We could have one agency to plan the TSA's mission, a second to carry out the plan, and a third to review complaints.

Seriously. We should have a Government Accountability Office to keep an eye on things like this.
