I try seeing it from your opinion try seeing it from our side.
So what would you suggest then for us who bring our own lunch? Eat at the food court anyway? The resturants will love people who aren't buying their food taking up their seats. I sure as heck don't want to pay the airport prices for my lunch everyday either.
Go to the TSA break room? Only trouble is it's outside the checkpoint and almost always full. With only a 30 minute lunch that doesn't leave you a lot of time to eat and get back on time. Security checkpoints often have a break closet for employees to eat in but since mine is being remodeled we haven't had one for awhile.
So that leaves us with sitting in metal chairs with ripped cushions because it's the best choice available. By the way those chairs we eat in do belong to the TSA, we use them for the morning meetings. But often times passengers do politely ask if they can sit there for a few minutes and we always say it's okay. Of course things like that are never mentioned.
