While I do agree that much of what passes for security, I can't say that I've even been inconvenienced most of the time, much less harassed. Generally short lines, very pleasant TSA folks (yes, it really is true). Sure, the shoe and liquid things are annoying and unnecessary, but hardly harassment since I know it's coming. And I have been asked to take off my belt (even though it never beeps), and a few have been less friendly than others. But this sure seems like exaggeration to me.
Cheers.
While I'm glad that you haven't been harassed just yet, the time will come eventually. Your opinion may change then. I literally almost reached over and strangled a TSA agent who was barking orders at me in the most condescending tone a couple weeks ago. The only thing that held me back was the fact that my brother had about 4-5 J amenity kits in his carryon right in front of me, so I didn't want to draw attention. Oh yea, he actually forgot to take out his other liquids as well. Sailed through security without a problem, good catch TSA, I'm glad you were busy making sure that there was no change in the same bin as my laptop.
