The webcam is mightier than the entire TSA and their 60,000 accomplices. If we surrender the video upload, we have lost the war.
If the TSA gets a photography ban, then we need to coordinate an effort like they did in London when the police were harassing citizens and tourists taking photos in and around London and citing them under the Terrorism Act for taking photos of things like Paddington Station, etc.

(Here and here are some great photos of the protest.)

Pick an airport where the checkpoint can be seen from outside of the checkpoint and start snapping away. Even if all you had was 50 people, I think that would be a response nightmare for the TSA.
