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.
Which only kind of proves my point that a screener accurately remembering a passenger from a different date and time, and in this case security point, is more than just a crap shoot. What's a bit disturbing is that in your case she wrongly "remembered" you and that could be an issue for a passenger if the faulty memory was of a bad event. Interestingly my wife and I fly out of SAT all the time which is really a small airport and indeed a few of the TSA folks recognize us. Luckily it's in a positive way.
