If a LEO consistently and repeatedly stops drivers for no valid reason whatsoever and repeatedly discovers no wrongdoing, there are at least nominally procedures in place to report/punish/discourage that activity. Monitoring of racial profiling and such.

There seem to be no mechanisms in place to protect pax from screeners who do so or to discourage this behavior on the part of screeners.

I was once sent to secondary for "scooting" through the WTMD in my plastic flip flops on my first attempt and "high stepping" on my second attempt after the screener said I wasn't allowed to scoot. It was clearly retaliation and clearly the screener just wanted to wand me for whatever reason.

I sent a complaint letter to the local FSD. While I was impressed that I actually received a written response, I was unsuprised that the FSD defended the actions of his screener as proper. I really hate this "blue wall of silence" crap, though I guess with TSA it should be called the "white wall of silence" or maybe the "white wash of silence."
