I too wonder at what would even closely approach a significant enough event, or apparently maybe two separate events, that could provoke the described reaction. Generally I don't exchange much more than casual pleasantries, and sometimes not even that, with most screeners. DFW is a big operation with literally thousands going through security during a typical shift. Over a week or more that number would approach astronomical so to get noticed and remembered would be no small feat.
You never know.
A screener at PHX monitoring the xray belt exit swore up and down she knew me and saw me there all the time. She was wrong. I do fly PHX, but that was the only time I'd flown in/out of T4. I asked if she worked the other terminals and she insisted she didn't and she had seen me at her station in T2 many times before. She started getting a bit warm about it, and frankly, it made me uncomfortable. I couldn't wait to get away from her. She all but said I was lying.
What can I say? She was wrong.
