Screening Manager and LEO are not ALWAYS the best course of action either.

I asked for a Screening Manager in FLL to complain about the "Shoes off or else" policy. While waiting, I was approached by 3 different leads/supervisors whose sole purpose was to intimdate me into leaving.

When the SM finally arrived, she brought an LEO with her. The two of the tag teamed me and attempted to intimidate me into dropping my complaint. The SM actually had the balls to lecture me and rudely point out that she had the power to Secondary Screen anyone she wanted (She was a REAL head case, probably trained in BOS). The LEO lectured me on the fact that the TSA was there to "Protect me" and that 1000's of people have no problem with the policy, so I had no right to complain (He was an idiot).

Moral to this story is that you need to pick your battles. I got the SM's name, along with the AFSD and FSD names as well. All of this will be forwarded to Washington in a formal complaint.

Why is this not a surprise?
