The above starts with fiction, ends with a declaration that would more often be fiction than anything else when dealing with the TSA dog and pony show.
It's doubtful that interacting with the TSA as part of going through the airport screening checkpoints would generally have no impact on blood pressure of "normal, well adjusted people" being put through the TSA dog and pony show.
It's most probable that interacting with TSA as part of the screening would more often negatively impact blood pressure than going through the screening process at airports in most developed countries in Europe and Asia that don't have the TSA performing out in the open at the airport screening checkpoints.
