Oh Ya, but I push back also. I had to wait for my laptop to be "screened" so two CATSA agents were holding the bins just chatting so I yelled across, so their supervisors can hear " hey less chatting more working" and wow was he unhappy to me, but what can he do. Sure he swapped the crap out of my laptop and he made me open it and look and I said, "look carefully as our CRA computers are very cleaned and advanced so we can audit better" he just looked at me and I was on my way.

I have always enjoyed messing with these guys. Some are great and I thank them, but most I do become more aggressive or a pain in the butt, but never enough to get into trouble, just not compliant to some of their made-up rules......Like the little girl in YYZ who said, she had to open my rolled coin and look at the coins and I said you roll them back up the way you found them or get your supervisor to roll them for you!

I never turn around for the wand as I always keep an eye on my stuff and when they start yelling instructions I just become deaf!
