While this is always a good way to make your views known, that doesn't mean it will accomplish what you are seeking. Even if everyone who has a genuine objection to intrusive security screening at airports were to do what you suggest, I strongly suspect it would still amount to a small enough percentage of voters that it would not change the incentives of elected representatives.

The underlying point is that this is about risk aversion. Yes, people don't like intrusive security screening, but they even more don't like the risk of being on a plane that gets hijacked by terrorists, and they believe it's the government's job to prevent that from happening. That's why we have the airport security procedures we have. Unless that risk calculation changes, the procedures are not going to change.
