Unfortunately, you may be sincere and not want to intimidate us, but as I am sure you know, perception is reality. The perception is that everything about TSA is to intimidate the flying public and make them cower to all the rules, no matter how inane they may be.

And lastly, do you not understand how absolutely maddening the "that's the rules. I have NO control over it" line is? You have ABSOLUTE control over it! If you were sincere in your beliefs, you would either a) work with the chain of command to improve the process and failing that b) quit.

Yea, we've voiced our concerns, and I have too. By now, the TSA upper management know we don't care for the machines, but we also have to do what we're told. At sfo, we work for covenant aviation security, a contractor for TSA. And if our company wants to keep the contract, they're going to do what the TSA upper management tells them to do. Going against management just sounds like a horrible plan. I sure would like to keep my job. I'm not a superhero going around saving passengers from the evil of security.

As me and my friend do, we cross our arms, say "BWAHAHAHA, EVIL TSA" and laugh it off. It's just better to be in a good mood then pissed at the world
