The end result of which will be slower lines, a much slower process for you involving an invasive search. That's the sort of thing I'd imagine someone like yourself is sort of against in the first place. That's, err, rather smart.
"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."
Sadly, were your actions to accomplish anything other than annoy your fellow passengers, they'd only serve to cause the TSA to hire more screeners. This in turn would mean a higher fee and a larger TSA.
Just to put into context since you don't seem to be able to grasp what you're doing. Your actions are akin to protesting the high price of fuel by driving more.
Funny you say that when truckers protesting high diesel costs by stopping traffic in DC today. Guess what, by inconveniencing a bunch of people, it got covered in the local news.
Now will a single person going through security with no ID/etc change anything? No, but you bet if large numbers of people were organized and did something similar, or did it on an ongoing basis, there would be media attention.
Would the TSA hire more TSO's? Perhaps, but undoubtably there would at least be local media attention if the security line became super long, or it was noted that security screening procedures changed in order to cope at a local airport.
