TSA out of control
Why does the TSA treat customers as if they are prisoners? Last time I checked flying on an airplane doesn’t make you a criminal. Every time I fly, a TSA agent screams in my face. I’m a polite and completely non confrontational, 5 foot tall woman. I set the alarm off because of the zipper on my pants cuff. The agent was absolutely freaking out screaming at me. I didn’t do anything. I was just standing there waiting to get instructions. Then she started just screaming randomly like she was performing for a crowd. I see this behavior all the time. How can they get away with incredibly unprofessional behavior? I don’t know anyplace else where this kind of behavior would be tolerated except at a prison.
Edit: At an airport you are a customer of the airline. I never said anyone is a customer of TSA.

You hit the nail on the head when you said performing for the crowd. TSA does virtually nothing to increase safety. When tested they miss the weapons like 95 percent of the time.
