Why do Redditors make fun of the 'security theatre' of the TSA but lose their shit over people not wearing a thin piece of cloth over their face?

This can go back and forth all day like a tennis match. Like the Gov originally said for cloth masks, "don't wear them, because they don't work."

Or you can just err on the side of caution and wear a piece of cloth which barely inconveniences most healthy people but has the potential to save people's lives. It's not a hard choice for me, and I don't need to wait for the 100th peer-reviewed study to come out before I just wear some type of tight cloth item around my nose and mouth when I'm going to be indoors or in a crowd.
