Out of curiosity, are you replying with these incredibly bad takes to trip the flame war detector, or is there another reason?

  We're in this really weird world where have this obviously useless to the public agency. It does in fact serve a purpose to the government. But it's useless to the public, at least in the form of officers deployed to airports. Yet we still wind up with these stories where some TSA employee says something and for some reason people just roll with it. I am just left in awe that this is possible. Especially in the case of an individual with a medical implant. Almost certainly a medical professional told them to never do this. Why would someone take a such an action based off a TSA employee's statement? I will not even use the word "risk" because the outcome here is known in advance. Just for perspective, I had a TSA officer proudly explain to me without any conversation (I did not want to speak to him) on my part that his qualifications for working there were "could not get into any other federal job, so they sent me here!"
