How about some good, old fashioned, peaceful civil disobedience? Instead of an act of discrimination? All his idiotic policy is going to do is give him a little short-term publicity and drive the lunch business of the TSA agents to his competitors. It's not like the TSA agents can't do without his cafe. They probably wouldn't eat there now if he gave them free lunches, anyway.
If he's lucky, he might make up some of that business in extra patronage from people who agree with his TSA-hatred. If he's lucky.
This form of protest, whatever I think of it, fits the definitions of both
civil and
peaceful.
While this is an act of discrimination, it's also not really comparable to, say, the discrimination against McCain voters or black poeple - neither can really change who they are, inside or out.
If enough places start telling TSA agents to fuck off, well, the TSA agents don't
have to be TSA agents--and the TSA doesn't
have to abuse its power at every given opportunity. And before it comes up that all TSA agents aren't people with big fish, small bowl complexes, I'd like to point at the word
agent. You can be the nicest guy on earth, but if you're the agent of someone else, you act in the interest of that other person's policies.
And these policies are what the cafe owner is protesting. So naturally, the agents of same aren't welcome.
