The only safe thing then would be to declare everyone to be terrorists and treat them accordingly, but if we’re all terrorists then we’re all friends, right? So OK.
My kids follow the axiom that if more people made it inconvenient for the TSA to do their jobs, the jobs would not get done.
In carryons they always pack shoes(oddly enough a no-no since shoes have to be separately x-rayed), add a tiny $1 folding knife deep inside a sock inside the stinky bag of dirty laundry, put a dead electrical circuit board from their computer builds under everything, etc., forcing a hand search of their carry on every time.
They have learned the following: If the hand search is started specifically for the shoes, and the tiny knife is found first, the search stops. Terrorists take heed, the TSA is indeed incompetent.
The rest of us, isn’t it worth $1 to insert a small folder into your carry on, either to be confiscated and bother them, or at least to test the system and show it is ineffectual?

And the most important clue, trying to get on the plane.

Hell, it seems like just showing up at the Airport is suspicious behavior! 🙂
