Yo-Yo: “If you don’t like the proceedures, you don’t have to fly.”

First off, it’s spelled procedures. Secondly, you’re wrong. The TSA is a government agency, and the 4th Amendment prohibits government from conducting unreasonable searches.

You think the searches are reasonable? Ah, but the 4th Amendment defines unreasonable, so you’re wrong again. A reasonable search, per the 4th Amendment, is one that is based on probable cause and one for which a warrant has been issued.

Bottom line: the searches are illegal.

You are patently incorrect. You'd do well to take a lesson in Constitutional Construction. Did you not notice the "," before "and no warrants shall issue".

You can stomp your feet all you want, you can take a tantrum if you like, you can scream like a petulant child, but the fact is your reading of the Constitution has been emphatically rejected, by both the people who wrote the Constitution, and those charged with interpreting it.

Go back and read Carroll v United States for a start.
