By the time I arrived at my gate I was actually feeling relatively little TSA related rage. Nothing stolen, no belligerence or screaming, Nude-O-Scope out of commission and no line-up. My previous journey through this checkpoint was practically an SNL sketch.

However once I arrived at the gate I found there was a couple TSA dudes hanging around, for no apparent reason and having a very loud conversation about video games which included the repeated loud use of what you might call "The 7 Words You Can't Say in an Airport" - others in the area seemed visibly uncomfortable.

Now it just so happens I am a huge fan of video games and have been playing them for thirty years and recognized the subject of conversation as two missions in Grand Theft Auto 4 and believe them to have been discussing these:

Now imagine if you will two passengers were having a loud conversation at the gate about the content of the aforementioned - what might occur out of "an abundance of caution"

The dudes eventually just wandered off, no gate screening - they were just standing there telling loud stories about their Xbox glories.
