If he was looking for micro-expressions you could have fooled me. The guy almost seemed to be bored if I were to give a description, as the person in front of me seemingly enjoyed talking and went on and on and on about this and that and you must not miss this restaurant, he was a like convention and visitor bureau for the places he visited.

All the while I am thinking to myself this guy does not care, just answer the questions asked succinctly and move on.

I will add that I am not one to rock the boat, maybe to my detriment, but I just sort of view my interactions with the TSA as keep my head down and hope for the best.
