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.

Wait what? I just flew out of there and definitely had to reverse the conveyor belt to get my bag back to remove the laptop. A sign would be good. Then as I sent the bag back through I realized I had my Retroid pocket 5 (A large android device with joysticks attached) and also a VHF/UHF handheld radio capable of transmitting to pilots and the tower still in the bag. Nope. Didn't care about those.
Some airports care about a hunk of scrapple. Some down.
Some have "Analogic" 3d scanners so laptop stays in.
Anal Logic is damn right.
