Well, CameraGuy, you're always so nice and polite to
everybody on FlyerTalk, I can't imagine you being anything other than that when going through security.
Personally, I have noticed that the TSA agents do generally make an extra effort to be pleasant, polite, and friendly. Yes, they occasionally pull me aside for wanding, etc... But have been universally polite when doing so.
Of course, it helps if you act the same way to them, instead of throwing a hissy fit as I think some might be inclined to do.
