Sounds like you were being a jerk just to be a jerk.
Were you looking to procure an incident, trying to get on their nerves, testing their professionalism-- or what? This disugusts me and gives those who object to the TSA's policies a bad name.
+1zillion.
The OP decided to go through security in a way that just demonstrated that he was a jerk.
By his own admission everyone he came into contact with was pleasant and professional. The only one acting like a two year old was the OP.
There are lots of policies that I don't agree with. I'm often annoyed with company policies but I don't take it out on the poor guys on the front line who (at least in this case) were doing everything right.
On the upside, the OP was acting like a typical forum member and ultimately is making life more difficult for the rest of us.
