I flew on Monday 11, I was there at 7pm for a 10:30 flight. Long lines everywhere, American Airlines very slow, and they called for boarding later than announced. The hand search lugagge at the gate is a joke, they opened my carryon which contained a backpack full of my electronics (cameras, lenses), but didn't open the backpack. And they confiscated the bottle of water that I had just bought by the gate in the sterile area, but it was because it was on top and visible in my laptop bag, they almost don't touch your belongings so I guess if I had put the little bottle somewhere else hidden below, they wouldn't have found it. I complained a little about it, and he said "sorry, it's TSA´s policies" and grabbed the bottle. After the water confiscation I was given a light and brief pat down. AA plane departed at 11.00pm that day but arrived (DFW) 15 minutes earlier. IFE and everything was as always, no changes or new rules.
