Noticed nothing different at SFO (Jan, 16) and at JFK (Jan 17) and on this trip I had a 10 ounce tube of prescription cream which I forgot to take out of my carry-on and "declare" at both airports and not a comment was made by the TSO operating the x-ray machine

I've actually never seen gate searches at SFO.

That's a good thing. SFO is, however, the only airport where I have seen screeners (in uniform, not TSA, of course) trying to monitor carry-on size.

Vive la difference!

Didn't notice anything special at MCI, CLT, or GSO over the last few days. In fact, GSO was sending everybody through PreCheck today...

Oh, wow! I didn't go through PreCheck at LAX. What happened to it? They didn't put on KTN on my BP.
