No. You have a constitutional right to take the bus rather than fly. But buying an air ticket means you give implied consent to be searched in order to insure your compliance with security regulations.
I'm not sure what you want INSTEAD, cthvglm... you want to fly safe, but you don't want a security hassle?
In airports where TSA has taken over the situation is vastly improved. Delays are minimal and the whiteshirts are brisk, courteous and thoroughly professional.
This is what life is like from now on. Deal with it or deal with Greyhound.
