You can still board a train, bus, drive a car, take a boat, or charter a flight at a small airport without a TSA screening, so you have plenty of other means of travel that are unaffected by this.

Sadly, you and too many others have bought into the idea that rights are granted by the government to be recinded at their will. I've come to the conclusion that some people are just plain averse to the concept of liberty.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams, quoted in "Citizen's Rule Book", Whitten Printers, Phoenix AZ

Well, certain rights are granted by the government, those are called “legal rights”. Natural rights are those that are not granted by the government. However, there is no natural right to enter a secured commercial air terminal.
