Reminds me of a trip through EWR B last year.

#1: ID checker, checks BP & ID

#2: TSA Agent #1, checks BP & ID again. She states to keep BP out for two additional checks.

I ask her why I had to show my ID again, her response "She is hired by the airlines and we don't trust her". I respond, "Then why do I have to show my BP two more times - does the next person not trust you, and the last one not trust anyone?"

Needless to say:

#3: TSA Agent #2: Checks BP (at other side of WTMD)

#4: TSA Agent #3: Checks BP yet again

Total checks: Four

Bloody ridicilous. Job security, I suppose.
