No one "deserves" to be respected. Respect is something that is earned. The TSA folks at DFW were working hard to earn the passengers respect when I went through a few weeks ago, but I've seen the other side of the spectrum at other airports.
I'm not taking my shoes off in Frankfurt any more, so I have to wonder if the TSA will catch on. If you prevent the terrorists from exploiting one weakness or opportunity, they will find another. If you want passenger air travel to be truly safe, all bags will have to be fedex'd to the destination on a baggage only flight and passengers will need to strip down and put on special TSA approved travel clothes at the screening checkpoint. No carry on's allowed and the concourses will have to be completely sterile.
