Analise, you forget that I live in Israel and face security inconveniences which make the TSA's pale by comparison.
The difference is that I can see the logic behind what Israeli security is doing as opposed to how the TSA is going about the job.
Offer me a Mercedes for $10000 and I will be thrilled with the bargain. Try and sell me a package of chewing gum for $50 and I will scream that you are a crook.
The TSA is combining both -- the price of a Mercedes with the value of a package of chewing gum.
