Do we really need a locked pelican case just to transit TSA screening safely?

What is needed is reasonable screening and what TSA is doing today is not reasonable.
There are some airports (ACY was the most recent for me.) where they make you take everything out of your pockets. Complaining to a supe gets you the same story: our airport is special.

When facing those airports, I make extra sure that everything is always within my vision at all times. If anyone asks, I tell them that it is for their protection, so that if something is missing, I can't claim that they stole it.
