I don’t think the TSA agents would be better off in that scenario.

My question is, why do people only worry about poor people not having the dignity of work? Shouldn’t we be more worried about all the children of the rich who will never need to earn a living? Shouldn’t we make them all do labor, for the good of their own souls?

We should be worried about those people because they tend to die from drug abuse much more frequently than the general population. The same is true for washed up celebrities and lottery winners. In fact, this is something that rich people tend to worry about a lot in regard to their own children.
This statement seems bonkers to me. People work at the TSA because they need money. Anybody who can hold down a job at the TSA would be entirely capable of doing many productive tasks that may not be remunerative, such as child care, elder care, care for the disabled, any number of home/landscape maintenance tasks, home construction, etc. Not to mention all of the activities that people do to add value to their lives and those around them: contributing the community, making art/music, etc.
Those are literally all remunerative jobs.
