I hope you didn't put the nasal spray in your eyes and told the screener to go stuff it. They can't force you to do something - always be prepared to escalate not just to the TSA manager, but also to your airline's station manager and even to the airport's management office.

Trust me - there is not much love lost between the airport managers and the TSA.

You need to try writing the FSD for the airport in question. I have found the TSA's website and other contact methods totally ineffective, giving at best canned replies that do not address the question / complaint and show that whoever or whatever is reading those notes has absolutely no comprehension skills.

The letter continues to say that the TSA has improved security, but also inefficiency. She says she strongly supports a Known Traveler program.

Shame this isn't what I wrote about.
