Perhaps an internet based, distributed campaign so well orchestrated that countering it would be impossible.

Maybe focusing on one airline, then a second one, would help.
The focus should be on passengers in the line going up to the security checkpoint, and there engaging in passenger-to-passenger communication via a flyer/leaflet/pamphlet which is critical of the TSA dog and pony show.
