The other points, of course, remain valid.
I agree, but there should be a limit to the "free samples," otherwise there is no incentive to purchase.

It appears that MCO TSA is at least trying to separate the freeloaders from the purchasers. There are now two parallel lanes. TSA directs the young and the old into one and those who appear to be solo business travelers into the other lane. Works great, but of course it will not last as they are, in essence, profiling.
