If the TSA wanted to enforce SSSS selections, it could get a better system. It chooses to have a system that's fully exploitable in any number of ways to evade SSSS. Thus, I conclude that TSA must not really care about SSSS selection, particularly in light of Dovster's noting that SSSS applies only the first time through the checkpoint.
If all my mechanisms to evade SSSS fail, I have a simple backup method: I'll drive. I'm never letting those scary screeners put their hands all over me again.
Since your driving try your moral scenario at the next DUI checkpoint you evade and see how far your argument takes you.
Let me know how that works out for you.
And Dovster is wrong. In many airports SSSS follows you until you get on the plane. I know, I've experienced it.
