I was traveling through SAT today and went through the normal screening process. I travel light, but I have a lot of items in their own bins. I dump out the laptop and then scan the bag. I take off my shoes, the place the CPAP in a bin and scan the bag. I do this so I can be out of the way when the CPAP screening is done. Today I was putting on my shoes alongside the metal table where you collecty your items. I lifted my foot to the edge of the table to tie my shoe and the TSA agent gave me the dirtiest of looks and told me not to do it. Here they were not even changing gloves to handle a medical device that goes into my mouth and they were griping about the fact I didn't sit on the floor to tie my shoes?! They created this nonsense situation in the first place!
