That's the fun part about the war for privacy. We have already lost and if you make a big deal about it they're just going to make your life hell!
It's not such a binary thing as winning or losing, it's a constantly shifting process. The only way to actually lose is by giving up -- instead, consider it making it as hard as possible for your privacy to be infringed upon. Sometimes it's more inconvenient, but what makes us such a farmable populace is our reluctance to be inconvenienced. Be good at being uncomfortable.
Yup, go to the airport early, wear something like reflectacles and a mask, and record everything. Who knows, maybe they'll violate your rights and you can find a lawyer to sue them to recoup some of that inconvenience.
And we lost it under W and the patriot act.
