This isn't a security question, it's a customer service question.
As you're well aware, Flight Attendants are responsible for your lack of legroom, your seat assignment next to the lavatory, your bag in the back of the airplane, the weather, lack of food and not having your favorite drink, sorry, No Yoo-hoo. Yet, you'll hear a flight attendant apologize for all of these, on a daily basis.
That smile? you asked. It's out there, look for it.
