Right; and you didn't have to give that mugger your wallet because you could have let him shoot you instead. You had a
choice - your wallet or your life - so there's no point in going to the police to complain now.
"Give up your personal details" or "get an unnecessarily intrusive and slow search by the government" is a false choice on the lines of "your money or your life".

This.
For the record, I stay in the "regular security line" - in SYD, CBR, MEL, BNE, PER, NRT, SIN, AUH, DXB, GVA, ZRH and elsewhere. But not in the US (or UK) - I don't go there anymore. And TSA is why.
