Thanks for being willing to share your experiences with us. I didn't know that wine even came in plastic bottles and don't know why he would tape those to his legs instead of stowing them in his checked or carry-on luggage, but your story made me laugh!

Even though I disagree with the jacket thing, I have to say that there are many more good TSA agents than bad. Most of them have a really good sense of humor about the same joke they have heard 20,000 (random number) times before, and many of them make jokes with the people in line. I've also been chosen for additional screening several times and the people doing the screening were professional and did not make me feel humiliated in any way (even during the breast screening).

The only one that ticked me off was the person reviewing boarding passes (after we had already shown our ID's and boarding passes in the security line) at Charlotte. The week before, there were two lanes, so in the week that I'm discussing, I started into the second lane, then realized that this was not an open lane (I think her not looking at that lane cued me to that, because it wasn't blocked off). I started back, but the people behind me that went in the first lane were already way ahead, so I just stayed in the second lane, The person reviewing the boarding passes scolded me for going to the other lane, I apologized profusely and she told me that I was going to get a secondary screening for not following the rules. I got the yellow card and went through the secondary screening, but I felt that she was overstepping her authority by punishing me for something I didn't even know was wrong.
