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.

Isn't it sad that so many people do not know what divest means? Or egress?

FWIW People can call me by my first name if they can pronounce it correctly...
