I travel through LAX every three or so months. I have never had a rude TSA agent there or anywhere else. I'm sure they exist, but I'm yet to meet one. Most are as friendly as I would expect someone in that sort of job to be. The transcon offering of US airlines has improved a lot in recent years, I'd rather take my chances with 2 minutes with an unfriendly TSA agent than 5 hours on a LCC.
