I'm very passive aggressive when it comes to the TSA... if they start making my life more difficult, I ensure that their day gets just a bit worse. Luckily that has been a rarity recently.
As George Bernard Saw famously quipped:
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
It is offered for your consideration that the TSA has more ability to make your life more difficult than your impact on theirs. Worse, if things ever go particularly sideways the local prosecutor is funded by the US Government and immune from your attempts to seek retribution. ... even to the extent that they engage in making up evidence!
We have quaint notions about Government for the people, but in reality, we're just a Third World Kleptocracy. The sooner you bow to authority (without regard for its legitimacy) the happier man you will be. The players are the winners
