Given the avatar....you just look guilty :-)

I've batted about .500 with them. Some were real polite, and yet firm and clear. Others were just palin abrasive.

I feel for them because they have a tough job that goes thankless for the most part. Given some passenger attitiudes I've seen, I can almost understand why some TSA folks are so sour. On the other hand, as public and civil servants, they have no right to treat folks rudely unless the situation dictates it.

A thought. Never offfer resistance, but do read badge numbers, and do hit the TSA page.
