Last week we're leaving out of FLL terminal 1. They have moat dragons standing in front of every WTMD in order to prevent people walking through them (other airports tend to just rope them off). 2 AIT running. Very, very, very slowly.

They finally opened up 2 more AIT, but never the WTMD - except for airline & TSA personnel. They went through WTMD. Hubby's carry-on gets grabbed for secondary, the clerk tells him that he has to take his pad and his kindle out of the bag in the future. They hand inspect everything in there, then put it all in a bin, and run it back through the xray. ...? You've already hand-inspected it, why does it have to go through the xray for a third time??

Then the people were walking through the AIT and after they walked out, they had to step over to another set of footprints where yet another clerk was patting down their sides. What is the purpose of THAT?

And explain to me why the TSA personnel coming into the airport were allowed to run their drinks (including clearly open bottles) through the xray machine in one of those change bowls? If that's safe for THEIR drinks, then I want to put MY drinks through there too instead of having to spend money in the "secure" (sic) area to buy water that isn't scanned, either.
