Staredown in full force at IAD checkpoints and a couple of flights (including my B6 flight) this morning. There were enough extra screeners doing staredowns that they could have opened an extra screening lane or two and eased the half hour wait.

Line 'em up and stare 'em down - a page out of the US CBP practice at certain airports for arriving international passengers (line 'em up. make 'em wait while walking dog down line).
