In the past, satire was protected under the First Amendment, but it
may soon be illegal to poke fun at the TSA or use its logo or even
utter its name. Notice there is no exception in the above language
for parody.

Political satire is as old as the Greeks and the Bible. But it may
now become a punishable crime if this legislation is enacted.

The TSA and the Justice Department are obviously serious about making
sure we don’t criticize their Gestapo operation. Since they began
irradiating citizens with naked body scanners and shoving their hands
down the pants of old ladies and grade school kids, public outrage
has reached a crescendo.

Careful, your hyperbole is showing.

Careful, your naiveté is showing.
