Reply #3: This worked well for TSA

[Bragi]

Some unknown outfit without the ability to organize anything announces a protest, TSA gets the word out early in the day that the protest has fizzled, anyone who intended to protest is discouraged from doing so, fans of intrusive search feel self-righteous in their compliance, and all is well.

The current crop of intrusive measures is thereby vindicated, and plans can be put in place to bring in the new "Anal Climbing Device" sometime in the new year, along with random inspection of people in their homes who have bought air travel tickets.

It's a win-win-win for everyone, other than a tiny handful of weirdos who still blather on about something called "privacy" and "civil liberties". Fortunately, they are harmless and easily rounded up, when and as needed.
