What is it that you folks consider "High and Mighty", I thought I had a grasp of the idea until some guy accused me of being so.
He was a forigen gentlement and I guess I might have come off that way for some reason. But I spoke to him I speak to any passenger and most passengers usually leave, shaking my hand or saying thanks for being quick. </font>
You American screeners need to stop using the word 'divest'. 'Please empty your pockets' works just as well. They tried to get us using that term last fall but it didn't take. It definately confused some passengers during its limited period of usage.
I've been accused of being high and mighty a couple times too, but everytime it's been while I've been on wand during a very heavy rush. I don't have anytime at all to smalltalk at that point and some people get offended when I basically ignore what they're saying in the interest of efficiency.
