I do agree that calling this Nazism is going overboard, but I think we have every right to disagree with and whine/complain about the senseless security procedures that are costing billions of tax dollars, causing us to be harrased on a frequent basis, and do NOTHING to enhance airplane security.
I'd be more than happy to sumbit to non-invasive procedures that actually made my flights more secure (like explosive detectors) but I do not enjoy standing in line for an hour to be forced to give up non-threatening metal objects, walk barefoot/in socks on a dirty floor, stand half naked in front of hundreds of people, get yelled at for questioning anything, etc. all just so I can go to/come home from work.
