Or you could just not get on the plane in the first place.

I spoke to an FAA inspector a few years back about the increase in airport
security.  He was trying to justify all of the gate checks and extra
searches.  I responded that if I wanted to disrupt the airport all I would
have to do is go up on the hills across the river and lay a line of mortars
onto the airfield.

He did not have a response to that.

Now all you have to do to disrupt things is just run real fast.
