Are Flight Attendants Getting Ruder when clearing security?

For the second time in two weeks, I have been pushed - literally, pushed - out of the way at the x-ray belt in a security line by UA FAs. The first time, there was a really long line and I can understand some of their frustration. However, they just shoved my bags out of the way and put their stuff into the x-ray ahead of me without saying a word (particularly, please or excuse me).

Yesterday, I was basically knocked off my feet by a FA as I was untying my shoe at the x-ray machine. I told the guy off and was told that "if they didn't get to their plane, I wasn't going to fly." There was no line at security - there were actually only two people behind me. Further, these guys were working my flight and they spent 15 minutes cooling their heels waiting for the inbound to arrive.

I complained to a Service Director who asked "isn't that TSA's responsibility?"

Don't these FAs have any idea how they come off to the flying public?
