How about this one? I book a flight at a busy time of day, instead of a slow time of day.
I thought about a police officer who issues a traffic ticket to a TSO driving to work, but this one would seem to be okay by the stated characterisation, as it doesn't involve a person going through the checkpoint.
If I say "I hate the TSA", and it upsets some of the TSOs, making them less able to work effectively, would that be actionable?

You are making it more difficult than it is. I am searching a bag, you keep reaching into the bag and intentionally impede me. I am on the x-ray and you come in screaming and yelling obscene remarks and I look to see what the commotion is about, you distracted me. I am patting you down and you begin to berate me with personal insults and tell me that I am sexually assaulting you, you have delayed me from performing a patdown.
Do you see our point in bringing this up?

And in most cases if you are keeping someone from doing their job it is because of "trying to get them to do their job correctly". eg. asking for new gloves, asking them to accept the NEXXUS ID, requesting to be able to see your belongings, refusing to answer questions about money which are inappropriate, etc.

And you never will 
as the TSA will use "SSI" as a catch all for what they don't want to tell you/what they don't want you to know-even if the information has absolutely no impact on or is absolutely no threat to nash'nul skewrity whatsoever 
Bolding mine: Yup ^ and I can't wait for a pax to be arrested for interfering with the screening process because they gave a middle digit salute while in the NoS.

I like the idea of the poster (I forgot what thread it was in) but he only nods or shakes his head, he doesn't even talk to any of the TSO's but he looks into their eyes.

I see that no one took any hints from your last sentence.
Anyway as a person that is traveling through a checkpoint if YOU do ANYTHING that intentionally delays, impedes or distracts a TSO from executing their assigned duties, you are interfering with the screening process.

Deafness is a handicap that can't be seen.
It drives some normal-hearing folks bonkers to have to deal with it.

For instance, when I am selected for a secondary screening I always tell the screener that I am unable to do XYZ. Several times the screener almost immediately tells me to do XYZ. I repeat calmly and slowly that I am physically unable to do XYZ.
This has caused several screeners to become very angry with me and I have been told that I am interfering with the screening process.
It is just one more example of many, many TSOs being unable to understand the variables of dealing with passengers (gender, nationality, physical limitations, cognitive limitations, etc)

I truly do not know. That is why I asked. If you do not know or can not tell me, we are in worse shape than I thought. These are specific areas where there are questions and you either refuse to answer on can not answer. Simple yes or no or it depends will suffice.

On what it depends you can surmise for yourself.
Day of the week
'R' in the month
what the checkpoint worker had for breakfast
the weather
phase of the moon
Broncos lost
etc...
