A diner sit-in affected the diner owner and its patrons, in addition to those sitting there. The march to vote in Texas earlier this year disrupted traffic on the highway, in addition to those marching. You get the idea.

I do not go out of my way to be slower above and beyond the SSSS process (though I do require clean gloves), but I will continue to make things more difficult for the TSA, consuming their resources in hopes that others are also affected and begin to demand change.
By delaying people most likely your only going to get people pissed off at you and not get your point across about the TSA...
