I've stopped flying in the US simply because I can't go through the line without being molested in some way. It's only in the US.

No other security agents in the world require you to take off your shoes, or do anything more than a standard leg pat down (if they do one at all. Most places just make you turn your pockets inside out).

The TSA is absolutely beyond horrible and Americans have just stopped fighting them and accept this as the new normal. You can get past it if you pay the extortion price for pre-flight checks and have them finger print and background check you.
