Being the cynic, I'd say headquarters is tryng to jack up the appearances of lines... but hey, I'm a cynic.

They were also doing 'noob training', so many milling about in confusion- and my bag had to be rescanned due to a Dell Power Brick. (seriously)

So I opted out and was able to successfully pass with 6 ounces of black tar heroin on the bottom of my feet...




Anyone hearing/seeing the same as a policy? I did see this previously, but more along the lines of "we use AIT as primary", but not "headquarters says 100%"
