I'm prepared in case they ever do slow me down on purpose. But I always arrive early to the airport because FLL can be a nightmare with the cruise ships disembarking and general uneducated traveler that loves to come to Florida.
Sorry, if they ransacked your bags because you refused the strip-search machine and they didn't do that with the bags of others, it's retaliatory. Period.

Second, there's too much chance for theft or slipping something into your bag if you're not right there watching them.
