I do live far from my family. I am from Europe and live in the US. My husband's sisters and parents live in different states. They are at such distance that it is not worth it to drive. We do fly to visit them and there are the occasional business trips. And still, this whole year I went through 1 scanner.
And going through 2 airports does not mean going through more scanners. I see you do not travel by plane much. There are very few occasions when you have connecting flights and have to go through security again. Most of them (domestic flights) do not require you to go out, unless you chose to go out to have a smoke. When you get off the plane you are already at the gates, you can just go straight to the gate you need to be for the next flight. There are fast foods and restrooms, so you do not need to go out of the gate area unless (I repeat) you are a smoker. The few flights that require you to go through security again are when you come from a different country and you have to have your luggage checked.
And I don't know anybody visiting family as often as you put in your example. Flights are not that cheap. Plus, if you live somewhere far, you are not all alone, or you would move closer to your loved ones. You have friends and possibly family (or just GF/BF). If I visit for thanksgiving, then I won't visit from xmas. The usual family get together is 1/year unless something unpredictable happens.
And as well as you can visit them, they can visit you.
In your example you exaggerate. I do not know anybody traveling as much on a regular basis. Well, to be honest I do, but has his own private plane and doesn't go through scanners.
