The only thing worse is when someone does something so stupid as to walk away from security while they are obviously not finished with you. I am completely in agreement that security lacks quite a bit and the rules these days might not be reasonable. That doesn't change the fact that security is going to continue to do their job the way they are told until they are told otherwise. A frequent flyer rebellion serves no purpose other than to inconvenience every one else at the airport as well as yourself. Taking it upon yourself to decide that you are done with their security check is an invitation for disaster, as we have seen numerous times now. Those that do this deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. That is no better than someone driving through a red light because they are tired of waiting. If you want to affect change then join a grass roots movement by writing letters and calling your congress man/woman. Taking things into your own hands serves no purpose but to make you feel better for a very short period until they either A) find you and arrest you or B) shut the entire airport down. In neither case do you end up being able to board your airplane and leave on time.
