This.

A simple look at the profiles of known attackers would reveal it's completely futile to screen literal 0-risk travelers.

Getting people to fear and believe that "everyone could be a menace" is a slippery slope and a slap at the core of our legal system (innocent until proven otherwise).

This misses the point of the TSA:

After 9/11 the air industry needed to convince people it was safe to fly, and what better way to do that than to establish performative safety on the government's tab.
