So, complain all you want, nothing is going to change, unfortunately.
No, you are not the only one - and I would write them back to call them on it. I'd hate to hire a lawyer to do it, but if you have one at your disposal, it would be worthwhile to ask them to type up something that could rip that TSA fool a new one.

No, nothing is going to change unless We The People stand up and do something about it - I'd like to see an organization representing the traveling public formed to counter the TSA. I'd gladly contribute money to a legal and public education fund whose sole purpose was to educate the public about the TSA's problems and failures, motivate the traveling public to stand up for their rights, call out rogue screeners, bury the TSA in complaint paperwork and publicly call for its destruction. At this point, I firmly believe that is well past the point of repair and must be eliminated.

Surely, FT has people with legal, political and organizational expertise to create such an organization - if FT can create SaveSkymiles, I'm sure we can create a similar organization to counter the TSA.

Congress ain't gonna help us, folks - we need to do it ourselves.
