If they delay you for 10 extra seconds they are azzes. If they miss something they are worthless...they are in a no-win situation.
I have been secondary screened many times. My wife gets wanded, due to a replaced knee, EVERY time she goes through security. A month after 9-11 in SAN I set off the metal detector...the wand picked up something on my right ankle also. They had me take off my shoes and socks...roll my pant legs up..and had a soldier with a M-16 come stand over me. (I mentioned something about it being my magnetic personality...which they didnt find funny). Its all part of traveling in this day and time.
I think the TSA should take an idea from Delta and have some frequent flyers do the TSA jobs for a day.

I do believe that TSA serves a good purpose, but they get a little crazy with stuff that makes no sense at all. MCO is definitely one of those airports. Since you can't bring liquids thru security, the drinks would have to be bought in a secure area. So they are checking liquids that someone bought from a vendor. Just doesn't make sense.
I am fine with the additional search when going thru security if you set off the medal detector or they find something that doesn't look right.
