Did say too much to the clowns, but couldnt resist telling that I thought it was a waste of money and peoples time after they me told "its neccessary for the country's security.." and one guy got a bit bent out of shape when I told him they need to send experts over from Europe to teach them about security.

Why would you get into an argument with a gate screener?? Do you think that person is in charge of the whole system and could change whatever procedures they were following?? Overall, these TSA people are quite courteous and trying to insult or intimidate them will only cause them to become hardened and less polite, as so many other people in customer service positions become after putting up with attitudes like this over a period of time. If you have a complaint about the procedures, address them to your Congressional representative or to TSA headquarters.
