I think part of the frustration is that the TSA folks don't know what some of the electronic devices we have are, so they are naturally scared of the unknown. Reminds me of the police officer who pulled me over and then told me that my Ipod (sitting on the dash) wasn't any good because his radar was more advanced than my Ipod.
(yes, he thought it was a radar detector).
