1. Contrary to your present assertion that you gain "zero personal pleasure" from harassing TSA employees, your previous post described your goal as to "have some fun with a screener."
2. Lying about being allergic to latex is a pretty bizarre way to "protest" government policy.
3. "Civil disobedience" requires actual disobedience and is a powerful form of protest to observers because the disobediance creates a risk of arrest or sanction that underscores the protestor's resolve. If you went to the checkpoint and refused to be searched, that would be civil disobedience. Doing everything the screeners tell you to do but being obnoxious about it is not civil disobedience.
