Feel good legislation

   So I'm at the airport today watching the farce that is the TSA. Why
   does the government have this zeal to just do something, anything when
   faced with a problem? Soundbite culture?
   Same thing with the useless law that is [1]Sarbanes-Oxley.
   How about next time there's a big crisis, we just wait about six
   months and see if it goes away? During this waiting period, reporters
   will be lashed for acting indignant and/or trying to make themselves
   look good by complaining every five minutes about inaction.
