The point is to light a fire of concern.

I suppose one could take a cruise ship to a place like Hawaii, though that eats up quite a bit of time.

Choose what you believe is best given the reasons you have to do what you do.

It used to be that people cared about their fellowman more.

This isn’t a care issue. It is a silliness issue. The TSA is 99% OK, given what it is. It should never have been created for sure and it sure is dopey but it is a necessary evil. They HAVE responded to public outrage, just slowly.

The Trusted Traveler took a while but is in place. There are kiosks for entry in every major airport to speed up Border checks. The naked-o-vision is gone and soon drinks will be allowed again.

I am no huge fan of the TSA but I don’t see it as the pure evil many here see. I have interacted with the TSA well over a thousand times and other than the fact they see to know nothing about queuing, line management and crush-time staffing, I have not had any problems with them nor seen anything untoward.

Yes, they operate on autopilot, scanning grannies and kids and sometimes I read about idiots who go too far (again, I have never seen it), but that is because they are typical government drones.

So, having a personal tantrum for something you will probably encounter for a few minutes (I mean the officers, not the lines) seems to be counterproductive.
