TSA Complaint App

I'm not exactly sure what I think about this app. In many ways I think it is good. But I hesitate to get behind anything that doesn't allow both sides of the story - in this case, why not also allow for positive comments on how the TSA is doing their job?

Here's a Fox News story on the app: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/04/30/group-launches-app-allowing-travelers-to-file-complaints-on-tsa-screeners/
And from CNN: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/04/30/sikh-group-develops-app-to-report-airport-profiling/?iref=allsearch

Interesting that the CNN report has it under "Religion" and not "Travel". Then again, Fox has it under "Politics".

Here is the Sikh Coalition site: http://www.sikhcoalition.org/
And they actually have a site just for this app: http://fly-rights.org/

And here's the app for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sikhcoalition.FlyRights&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInNpa2hjb2FsaXRpb24uRmx5UmlnaHRzIl0.

And for iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flyrights/id499883054?ls=1&mt=8

What do YOU think about this app?
