Passengers are responsible for time management. Some passengers severely limit their options by not allowing adequate time ahead of their flight. "Expect the unexpected" and "be prepared" are two sayings come to mind.
The problem is that we are not responsible for your mismanagement. The TSA mismanages time at checkpoints, and it mismanages its authority by arbitrarily banning items that are not on the prohibited items list. If those abuses were curtailed, it would then become an issue of passenger time management. Don't try to pass the buck.
