So... You're lying about having a health condition in a loud and obnoxious way? Not sure what the point is.

Just because you can get around TSA checkpoints doesn't mean it's not "about" security. There's only so much that can be done when we have to balance safety and convenience.

1) its okay to the lie to the TSA and troll them. the TSA is just low skilled jobs program.

2) those scanning machines have leaked their images before to the public so its okay not to want to go through them and have your.png on there forever.
