It's definitely one of those things that if you have the time and privilege to spend, objecting is not hard. It also depends greatly on the TSA crew you're working with. If you fly a lot from a regional airport, you're likely to see the same people. If you're getting on in an unfamiliar hub, it might feel more intimidating to object. I know people who have objected and had to answer a few extra questions, and people who have objected and the agent says, "oh okay," and spends 10 extra seconds looking at the ID.
