Do we need TSA for interstate highways?

You mean like the random checkpoints set up by border patrol in the southwest where they stop all the freeway traffic? Been around for years.
They already tried it once in Tennessee. IIRC, it was only for truckers and after a good bit of blowback, they claimed it had been voluntary (though the truckers didn't know that) and strictly informational.
They're sorely needed at the entrance to my apartment building.
This is an opinion that is unironically held by a lot of people on Nextdoor.
South Park had a pretty appropriate episode about something like this [1].
