Are you traveling on a US passport? TSA is not CBP: they have no reason to look beyond the identification page. The ID checker is only there to match your BP to other ID. (Not defending ID checking, just describing the procedure.)

Using a rubber band or paper clip/clamp to keep the other pages together may discourage invasive shuffling. If not, and you have time, complain to a supervisor and/or fill out a complaint form.
