Question to the TSA folks: assuming the one side of this statement is entirely true, that SDF_Traveler was 'yelled at' for waiting until he could view his possessions, what is the appropriate response?
Would yelling back be appropriate (in a one-sided power equation like an airport checkpoint, I wouldn't want to be the first to try). Would calmly asking for a supervisor be appropriate?
Obviously, yelling at passengers is unprofessional behavor and not something TSA condones. What is the correct response here? This isn't an entirely hypothetical question. I haven't personally had this happen to me (perhaps because of my size...) but I have seen it happen to others.
