MEASURED THE STRESS LEVEL, AND THE RESULTING CONSEQUENCES, IN WHICH HE, THE CAPTAIN AND/OR THE FIRST OFFICIAL, WAS SUBMITTED BEFORE THE FLIGHT BY THOSE TORMENTORS.
Absolutely spot on. A crew member would be well within their rights to report unfit for duty due to stress caused by officious screening. It is mandatory that crew report fit for duty both physically and mentally.

When are the pilot and cabin crew unions going to address this ongoing problem?

UK airports, especially Heathrow, have an appalling reputation for their over aggressive attitude toward staff and passengers. Some airports in the USA are not much better.
