The Stanford prison experiment was a study of the psychological effects of becoming a prisoner or prison guard. The experiment was conducted at Stanford University from August 14 to August 20 of 1971 by a team of researchers led by psychology professor Philip Zimbardo.[1] It was funded by the US Office of Naval Research[2] and was of interest to both the US Navy and Marine Corps as an investigation into the causes of conflict between military guards and prisoners.
summary
people pretending to be prisoners and people pretending to be guards...
guards abuse prisoners knowing filming and its just actors (innocence)
so now add in organization like TSA...
power and authority over citizens...
now making road side stops....
nasty
Sorry folks it's too late we lose.

If they can stop you while your traveling, you need to define traveling. Going to the local shop is traveling!
Once they stop you they search your car. Do you really think they will stop there.
Body searches of your kids while you take them to school, all modified of course.
Body searches of you. No cameras, no other witnesses. You think it is bad now!
Not nice at all!

We've paid your foolish tax, read the acts
And they just won't do

All men were created with certain
Unalienable rights
Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit
Of happiness
And it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said It's too late to apologize
It's too late
It's too late to apologize

There is one major flaw in your premise and that is that TSA screeners/clerks are not law enforcement officers. They are low-grade dull normal clerks with no power to detain or arrest. If they want someone detained, they must arrange for someone with law enforcement powers to do so.

They have been playing us for a long time and we just follow each other into the trap.
Since the 9/11 "attack" didn't scare enough Americans into willingly handing over freedom they used the scary Mexicans.

I don't usually try to start arguments but I really hope you're wrong about this...

I would like to inject a little common sense here. You may be blowing this out of proportion. If the government really wanted to invade everyone's privacy that badly, wouldn't it simply pass a more straight to the point law redefining what constitutes probable cause for search or something like that? Regardless, I doubt federal and state employees are not going to start "harassing" people any more than they already do, because they would end up with more lawsuits than they could shake a stick at and our fellow jurors would stick it to them.

Sad and scary developments. I normally don't get too upset or worried but this snowball keeps on growing even more rapidly.
HR 347 anyone?
I am going to get a legal copy of my birth certificate and carry with me at all times along with my state issued photo ID and Social security card. Other countries require people to carry their "papers" with them at all times. Sad we are heading this way. Nothing more than a cleverly cloaked move to search and detain anyone the system deems questionable....up to and probably including online posts and opinions that "someone-somewhere" might find inappropriate...
Don't panic, but do not fool yourself. You should probably prepare your legal documentation and proof of citizenship to keep your detainment time to a minimum.
