Surprised no one has mentioned spotting the newbees long before being on the plane. I spot them at security, for some reason they always get in my line right in front of me.
Newbees read all the signs while in line and wonder out loud with their partner: It says 1000 speed film is safe, what about my video camera? What speed is that?
Oh no, someone who has never visited with TSA before.
Then the same old exchange:
Newbee puts three bags on the x ray belt.
TSA: you have to take the laptop out of the case, you didn't know?
tray #1 goes into the xray
TSA: you have to take off the jacket before coming thru this WTMD. Oh and the sweater too.
tray #2
TSA: You have to take your boots off
Beep:
TSA: Try emptying your pockets, yes the cell phone and the key ring too
Tray #3
Beep
TSA: Did you empty your pockets, yes the coins too.
Tray #4
Beep
TSA: Try taking your belt off
Tray #5
Beep
TSA: Try taking that Harley bike chain jewelry off, put in the tray
Tray #6
Beep
TSA: You say you have 17 piercings? Step over here, we have to hand wand you, don't worry your three bags and six trays will be there backing up everyone elses bags and holding up the line. Not to worry, those 50 FT PE troublemakers will gladly wait while we SSSS you.
