File a complaint? About what? "The screener made me empty my pockets for secondary screening"? Though looking at someones travel documents may be unnecessary, it is hardly complaint worthy.
Reading a person's documents extends beyond the boundaries of the administrative search. If the SOP permits reading of personal documents, I would be surprised. Reading through documents can even taint the attorney-client privilege.

And the OP's concerns were more than just travel documents related to the flight. The TSO went through CC's and other cards as well.
