Gradgirl, I can understand your "holier than thou" approach towards the screeners. Some people are just that way. But you need to understand that the screeners see hundreds even thousands of bags every day and most screeners assisting with loading the items on the x-ray belt know which configuration will most likely produce the best results and avoid having the bag needing to be rescanned. Most of the time, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't. I'm sure that no screener is intentionally trying to see just how angry they can make you. But keep in mind, if you keep making every little detail into a major scene, you will most likely be remembered, but not in a good sense. I'm not bashing you, just making a comment. You can approach the checkpoint in any manner you see fit. I don't hold a grudge. I only have to put up with it for 30 seconds!
