I have flown nearly 100 times this year so far and have not been through one once. I make it a practice to make it as uncomfortable for the screener as the process is for me. I am rude and comply only to the bare minimum. If I have time, I make a point to call the supervisor over and complain about the process. If I am pulled aside and made to wait longer than 15-20 seconds for the patdown, I loudly complain. What they're doing is illegal (unreasonable search and seizure) and I feel no obligation to make that job easier. On the contrary, every single person who flies should be doing their damnedest to make this process excruciating for the TSA.

I've noticed that the TSA have been given soft skills training.

"Just doing my job" is no excuse, but it's very difficult to be mean to somebody who is illegally searching you if they are smiling and understanding.
