Submitted respectfully, I think you're seeing this through blinders. DEN is probably the most attentive airport when it comes to PR...smiling, being jovial, being courteous. No question.
But eyecue, go to some other airports, IAD, EWR, LGA, SFO, SEA (to name a few) and go see how rude the other TSA screeners can be. I'm not stating the inconsistent security measures (different story), but the window dressing is totally different at other airports.
