Last time I was flying out of Seattle, our inbound aircraft was slightly late from overseas and then had to sit a while for its security sweep before we boarded. Rather than leaving it at that, the GA concocted a bizarre hypothetical where if we boarded now we would all have to go through TSA again (???) and so he was really doing us a favor by making us wait.
