I've speculated the same, but I've been through OKC 42 different times now and this only started about three weeks ago. I would think it would be the opposite, them asking my hypothetical doppleganger why he suddenly started opting out.

Who knows, I have a fairly good rapport with the TSA at every other airport I fly through, I usually recognize and talk with them about the weather and all, but OKC seems to have an inordinate amount of turnover. Just in general, OKC is weird, such as the time an agent asked casually "you fly through here a lot don't you" and a three-stripe pulled her aside, in front of me, and started yelling at her "don't act friendly in front of the passengers!". I mean, wow, what's that about?
