Why TSA insists you to remove Food from your bags and put it in a separate tray?
I don't know why but I have noticed that during the past 1 or 2 years, TSA agents are flagging trays if there are food items in bags which are not removed which would lead to an explosive check on the bag and probably a wait depending on the airport.
It doesn't make sense to me as this is only being done in the USA but nowhere else in the world. Is there a reason behind making people removing food or do they want the passengers to hassle more than usual so they could convince you to buy TSAPre?
