I understand how you feel, and I do sympathise - but, in the final analysis, you're being paid to put up with it. While I'm being charged to have it inflicted on me. And I have a rather more easily exercised choice, because I can avoid the indignity without giving up my livelihood.
Also, the term "aviation community" was meant to include not just the airline and airport staff at the front line, but also those who set and influence policy. They need to find a way to a) focus security measures on the real threats, and b) make them less invasive to the customer, or people like me will stop flying.
