FWIW, I don't travel extensively and I'm a run of the mill low speed guy. The most extensive search I've been subjected to was flying out of Reno in October, 2002.
I did not mind. The search was much more reassuring that TSA was doing its job than the usual "
Olé" I had received earlier that year in other airports.
I agree that acts of ass-hattery in an airport/aboard a plane should receive special attention. Passengers/aircrew members that cause flights to be delayed should not only get a thorough interview but also a bill for the delay they've caused, a potential fine for nit-wittery, and a special check mark in a database.
This last reward so that they'll receive thorough (but professional) searches on their next ten flights.
Oh, you missed your flight? Terribly sorry. Well, if you go back to the ticket counter, you can get on another flight...no, not the gate, the actual ticket counter...yes, that does mean you'll have to be searched again...oh, terribly sorry...that is policy.
