The TSA does seem like security theater, and is annoying, but I’ve never had an automatic weapon carelessly pointed at my head in a US airport.

In the UK if you're in an Airport officers can question you without requiring reasonable suspicion and you must answer their questions and give them access to your devices or face charges...
I want to describe it as Americans arguing with Americans and others about American things. These details under discussion we share with England (incl. Wales if you recognize the Laws in Wales Acts as including some separate place).
Ignorance is bliss. Americans know because we can access our US court decisions, unlike any other country in the world. (Thanks be to CourtListener and other predecessors.) The "North Koreans have more rights, look it's right there in black letter law" is laughable, despite being repeated nonstop by cough some sectors of society cough since Soviet times.
This is not a uniquely US thing?
The chances are not very high that you are well-versed in how all the other countries in the world work. Whenever you think something is unique, it is quite likely that you will be wrong.
I'll go first, and you can match me. Here are several hundred court case dockets over the last 1.5 years or so related to one man.[1] Please provide court dockets for some relative number from your country of choice. Not selected documents: ANY document must be accessible from ANY docket.
I'd say Brazil is your best bet, I'd go with that. We'll wait.
Alternatively, we can explore your excuses on why you cannot. That's also a fun part of this conversation, exploring various national indoctrination systems around their lack of access to their courts. They are usually very different from the United States'.
It's always weird to see people go from "it's not true" to "it's true and it's a good thing" and repeat the government line.

Can you tell that to ask the Europeans that constantly cry "only in America" about every little thing?
The main thing people seem to find difficult to comprehend is that planes owned by airlines are the private property of the airline. You're pretty much welcome to buy your own plane, and use it to carry anyone and anything you want, but if you want to get on someone else's airplane, no so much.
Going through TSA is not a condition of using a government airport, it's just what happens if you use an airline.
In any case, being "government property" doesn't mean "completely free of regulation".
