I absolutely *hate* CMH.

I was coming through in my non-profile purchased-for-the-airport shoes today. Things were going well and it was pretty empty.

I started to step through and that's when the screener blocked my path and ordered me to step back through and told me to take my shoes off.

I refused. I told him I'd take the secondary and that my shoes didn't seem to be a concern most anywhere else.

"You're in Columbus, now," the screener said with pride.

So I replied, "Oh, and I guess TSA procedures don't apply in Columbus."

The guy actually replied, "We get way too much crap from people like you."

So I said, "And you'll continue to until the screening procedure is consistent across the country."

Then I hear "male wand" being spoken on the radio so I mentioned that I know that shoe screens don't involve wanding in the new procedures. Then he lied and said he never said "male wand" and he quickly told the wand person to just screen my shoes.

Another day, another complaint form. Gosh, I feel safer. Get me back to MSN, where I've NEVER had to remove my shoes.
