I had NO idea why I was constantly being pulled out of line and placing my hands on my head to traipse through the "machine". 2 weeks ago I had every bag in my possession searched.
A few months back I had a kindly TSA agent TELL me that I was "one of THOSE people" and pointed to my yellow tag. I don't know WHAT will stop the harassment but taking the tag off will be my last resort.
Attention all terists! Just walk in behind one of them commie pinko Flyertalk types and you'll skate through the checkpoint while we show the Flyertalker who's who.
