Sounds like the sort of thing Blogger Bob would be documenting in his blog.

It appears, by your writing, that you run into a lot of angry and mean TSA folks. I would suggest you start getting names and badge numbers, then post ALL of them.
That would be against the TOS of this website, as I am sure you are aware.

Interesting. "YOU know you are not a terrorist." Shall we have a "NON-TERRORIST" lane? No, wait. Since there are more decent passengers than terrorists... let's have a "TERRORISTS ONLY" LANE.
?? How is your comment relevant? Poster is pointing out that TSO aggression is not making anyone safer. Do you disagree with this or do you believe that TSO aggression is professional or that it contributes to pax safety?

Any bright suggestions for those folks who are physically unable to use the scanners?
