How did that work? I'm not understanding the situation you've described.

For the life of me I'll never understand why the BOS Terminal A TSA ID checkers continue processing passengers when there's a backup at the screening belts/scanners. As you've noted, this careless practice only results in a tangled nest of queues snaking back from the screening lanes. Why not hold passengers back at the ID checkpoint until the congestion dissipates?

Completely unacceptable. And for SkyPriority passengers, no less.
Living less than 10 minutes from BOS, I typically leave home one hour before my flight's scheduled departure and still have time for a SkyClub visit. On multiple occasions, however, inexplicable TSA meltdowns have nearly caused me to miss flights.

I've seen these idiotic, quasi-holographic "agents" elsewhere, too. Unimaginable waste of money.

God, I hope they're not starting up with that farce again. Once had a BOS TSA "behavior expert" tell me that I was acting nervous, this in advance of perhaps my 100th enplanement of the year.
