And what point, Greg, are you making by hassling them? If there is a problem, note the names on their nametags (they all have them) and send a polite letter in to the appropriate office.
That will have more effect than any hassling ever will.</font>
Not sure hassling is the proper word. I was thinking, when I wrote this, about when commenting to the 2nd TSA person in 4 feet (MEM/UAL) that I just showed my ID and being told "he didn't count" and if I want to pass through I'll have to show if. Then walking another 4 feet to the x-ray and being requested to show it a 3rd time. Also commenting that I showed it to (pointing 8 feet away) him, him (pointing 4 feet away), and now you? Same type of Goon reply "it for your safety". 3 checks in 8 feet (literally) is hassling. My reciprocal hassling is merely verbal astoundishment. I haven't been "hassled" to the point names need to be taken.
I will simply avoid using airports that I feel have overzealous TSA or long TSA lines (LAX) because of the shoe and ID policies.
