Recently I was returning from Orlando. I take security just as seriously as everyone does and have cleared all my pockets of any metal objects, removed the shows, jacket etc. The gentleman in front of me went through the detector and triggered an audio and red light alarm; but the TSA security was distracted and was looking somewhere else and let the man go and waved me in as the next person. I didn't trigger any alarm but the red light remained on as it was barely a couple of seconds after the first guy. I was asked to stand in a booth while another TSA agent swapped my hands for mass spectral analysis and was going to do a more thorough search. Fortunately, another agent who was standing by saw what had transpired and told me that I could leave.
My point is TSA agents are human; they could be distracted, annoyed, upset, might be having a bad day, end of the shift, may not like your appearance etc. These are not highly educated, professional, mindless robots but humans.
I would be happy when you are screened by an invisible robot.
Have you ever been subject to intensive screening because of someone else's mistake?

keep those new hands gloved, they may display a propensity towards random fondlings of strangers

Perhaps a better question would be "Have you ever witnessed, or been subjected to, a retaliatory screening?"

It seems even wearing a t-shirt that says "The TSA wants to see me naked" can cause them to loose focus on the task at hand.

TSO's, aka, smurfs, clerks, are all of what you say, but human?, no definitely not in my book and as such I treat them with the disdain, contempt, disgust that many of them so richly deserve.

When I went through, the guy on the WTMD, as well as the xray operator starred ay my shirt for several seconds.. I suppose somebody could have gone through the wtmd while still wearing shoes!

Wow, you mean it didn't trigger someone screaming "security breach" and shutdown airport operations, evacuate everyone, and conduct a through re-screening of the entire wing/section/concourse/terminal of the airport, out of an abundance of caution.

It's a genuine concern.

I remember a couple of years ago the local used car dealer that is on the TV incessantly walked through a checkpoint in Denver. Several screeners, including the x-ray operator stopped to gawk at this guy. Even when the belt was rolling, the x-ray op was looking at him while he put the rings back on all 10 of his fingers.

Same thing happened to Trevor Pryce just after he was traded from the Broncos, and Johan Petro a couple of days after the Nuggets were bounced from the playoffs in 2009.
