When I am a guest in someone else's country, I act like a guest. If you object to TSA intrusiveness, that's fine -- then don't come. Otherwise, I just don't understand what business it is of yours.
I'll do what an American has to do, and refuse things an American can refuse to do. I have no problem with security. But don't BS me with nonsensical questions or demands which aren't fundamental for what I have to undergo; a check of myself and belongings for dangerous items. Nothing more, nothing less.
Being a visitor to a country does not mean one has to act to every demand a inhabitant of that country gives you.
