Thx for the link. Definitely did not mean to debate who is the worst; I was just frustrated. IME ORD collects screeners who make my life personally difficult. Often I bring back interesting gourmet cheese from this store in Chicago that I like, and they *always* need to search my bag when they see them [such that I now carry a dedicated tote-bag for the purpose of holding cheese and being searched], but more than that, they give me attitude, like more than once I've been asked, "why do you need so much cheese". It is crazy-making.

ORD is also where that other officer grabbed my ponytail from the back with no warning (I think I posted about it here on FT and some allies described it as verging on assault).

The more I fly, the more I see real variation in training, politeness, quality, etc. of the TSA employees depending on time/date/location.
