With all due respect, I don't think you have to put up with inconveniences. The United States is still a democracy, regardless of what Timothy McVeigh and his buddies think/thought. This means that anything can be changed if enough public pressure is brought to bear.

The inconveniences, as many on this forum have pointed out, do absolutely nothing to ensure security. At best, they do nothing; at worst, they instil a sense of false confidence that will make the terrorists' job easier in future.

There are far more effective security measures that could be implemented, which pose little or no inconvenience to the travelling public. (For example, one anonymous airline pilot was heard to say “They’ll have trouble hijacking my airplane when I’m bouncing them off the ceiling.” He may have got this idea from a guy named Uri Bar-Lev, who did exactly that when two Palestinian terrorists tried to hijack the El Al airliner he was flying in September 1970.)

But unless the public can be educated about the difference between real security and “show” security, they won’t lobby for that change.
