Whether it’s because of flight delays, security procedures or bad food, travel inspires some of the loudest and energetic complainers out there. Lately, people have been piling on the TSA like it’s their job (sometimes it is). But this is just the latest chapter in a rich history of travel complaints. You can trace incidents like this all the way back to the Biblical times. It’s a rich history and one that deserves exploration.

Over at Gadling, I’ve traced the evolution of the travel complaint. Before the TSA, travelers aimed their vitriol at God, airline food and babies. Now that’s a holy trinity!

Now, some of these gripes are justified while others are just people enjoying hearing themselves shout. Hopefully you know the difference between the two and stay above the fray when it’s the latter.

If you’re a complainer or know someone who is, do yourself a favor and give this post a read. Then leave a complaint in the comments.
