Despite considering myself a progressive, feminist man who is aghast at what is happening in our politics, it made me confront some of my own gentle and chivalrous, but ultimately still patriarchal, programming.

The fact that you are willing to examine yourself in this way and confront your own behavior, that is what makes you a progressive man.

Isn't that literally every AmA ever?

This is why you should word your questions carefully. She answered the question that was asked, but didn't answer the question that wasn't asked.

Now we'll never know.

The goal of a terrorist is to kill as many people as possible, in as visible a way as possible.

The procedures as TSA checkpoints have created huge lines. They are actually better targets than a fully loaded aircraft, because they have a large number of people, and no security check is required before you get in line.

A suicide bomber could approach the checkpoint, detonate, and kill hundreds, all without ever going through security.

Is the TSA aware of this risk, and if so, what are they doing about it?

OP is busy getting it on with Liv Tyler. I'm certain he'll be back later to answer this question.
