When I fly I treat the tso the way I'm treated, that's how I roll. I also do not want to talk or have any thing to do with them that I don't have to. Just get it over with then I can go have a Starbucks
I'm loaded with stress until I'm through the cp.
All I can say is the "feeling people up" portion of my job is a very tiny portion of my job. Thank. God. Roughly half of our time is spent in baggage at the current time. It's no secret MYR is expanding, so what happens after the move is anyone's guess. But as for now roughly only half our time is in the checkpoint. That time is split between various functions such as xray, exit monitor, ticket checker, etc, so once the whole thing is boiled down, any one of us may do a full pat down only once or twice in a a week. Thank goodness. If my job was consistent solely with "feeling people up" it would be horrible. I appreciate when people treat me well, but I also don't like to see people stressed out. I do my very best to treat people well even if they act like a dick toward me. After all, I don't know what's happened in their life or in their day to cause them to act that way.
