Slowing things down for the people behind you may cause one of your fellow travelers to miss their flight, but it's not going to harm or even inconvenience the TSOs personally.
Having been a lobbyist in a previous life
I can tell you that change will come when elected officials believe their stance on an issue is of burning importance to their constituents, OR someone offers them bushel baskets full of money! Lacking cash, a large, orchestrated protest might attract some attention and spark a revolt, but short of that ....
But it can be very effective. I end up with SSSS on my boarding pass (or do not wish to show ID). Fine I get a secondary. But I also ask for private pat down, and private search of my carry-on, and of course that means 3 TSA screeners will be busy for 15 minutes rather than 1 for 2 minutes. The TSA spends more than the $5 they charged me for the new & improved security fee.
Whatever I can do to make sure your organization is shut down, either fiscally (which is political based) or by personnel with your brethren leaving in droves.
Oh, and do initiate a SPOT conversation with me next time, I'll take photos of you and put it on my web pages (with download capability).
And I almost forgot, have a nice day.
