Someone once told me... all things are simple, people make things complicated.
The fact that such a large percentage of air travel passengers can't (or don't? or won't?) just turn around and walk away is more a judgment of passengers then air travel.

The $11,000 fine threatened for doing so might be a reason. TSA routinely threatens people with administrative fines if they don't "complete screening", so they shut up and deal with it.
Your earlier point about quitting one's job is easily addressed. If you sexually harass your secretary, who cares? She can quit, right?
