I'm sure they are, but that doesn't excuse an overreaction by security personnel.
Sorry, but TSA employees work for the public. It's not the other way around.
Some screeners have a bad attitude regardless. But yes, most escalations I have seen are due to the passengers attitude. I have some screeners that are cheerful and happy no matter how rude a person is to them. I give them credit for that, I don't always understand how they do it.
