What Would Happen If....
If I wore a T Shirt at screening that read.... "I HATE TSA" or "TSA GO AWAY" or "TSA HINDER, NOT HELP"
Do you think anything would happen?

Let's ask this in Travel Safety/Security rather than MilesBuzz.
I'll move it now.

My guess is that you'd get automatic secondary screening, which is where they point a wand at all of your private parts and ask you to partially undress. If you compounded that T-shirt with an "attitude" you could get a fine of between $250 and about $1000. But they'd probably let you through after more than the normal amount of harassment.

I'm tempted to wear the Ben Franklin shirt, one that has his saying about trading liberty for security.

Maybe I'm an optimist, but I think they'd just scowl at you and let you through. They're busy, and though you might be perceived as rude, you wouldn't necessarily be perceived as a security risk.
You might even get a laugh out of someone with a good sense of humor!

Myself, I would chuckle.
