How long before we have to go through similarly invasive "security checkpoints" when simply driving across state lines? If we are not free to move about our own damn country (and it is OUR country) are we really free in any meaningful way?
Also, there is precedent for a Constitutional right to travel. See Saenz v. Roe (1999) U.S. v. Guest (1966) and Shapiro v. Thompson (1969) The Articles of Confederation also explicitly mentioned a right to travel.
As Justice Stewart made clear in his concurrence in Shapiro,
"It is a right broadly assertable against private interference as well as governmental action. Like the right of association, it is a virtually unconditional personal right, guaranteed by the Constitution to us all."
