Of course, we don't care if they go through the stuff - they can be our guests. BUT, if one of these guys take the cover off the camera body & touch the mirror, my husband just may throw a fit. He's told me that it can be damaged by someone touching that mirror. Is the airline/security taking responsibility for damaging property?

I would guess not. They can probably claim whatever sort of security exigencies they want to or insist that it looked "suspicious" and get away with it in the current environment.
Which isn't to say that you don't have recourse, just that the damage will have already been done at that point.
