It seems that if you don't mind quite a lot of extra delay, you can, sometimes, at some airports, request that they inspect your bags in your presence and then seal them. This happened to me once by chance, so I'm guessing it's worth a shot to ask.
But that wasn't really your question.
A government agency has been created in response to panic, without being well-thought out. It is rife with inefficiency, the proposed solution is "throw money at the problem" (of course, the amount of money required to actually solve this problem by throwing money at it, which is a dubious solution at best, is several orders of magnitude higher than what's been provided), and now it's being revealed that the TSA agents themselves are no better at resisting the time pressures of the airlines than the old staff was.

Security's not easy.
