I'm not sure it's that the GS-nothing has them pegged as a terrorist so much as the GS-nothings treat
everyone passing through the checkpoint with universal contempt.
It doesn't seem to matter whether the person is fresh out of a five-year stint in the Navy, or is a six-year-old with cerebral palsy and a wheelchair, or is a geriatric grandmother with an incontinence issue, or a business traveler with two laptops.
It may just be that they resent being stuck in a dead-end job doing theatrical make-work to help the sheeple feel safer, it may be that they really just have a deep contempt for people in general. Who knows? What's generally known is that TSA employees don't care who travelers might be - they hate them all.
