(This was a case where security was shut down until I showed up!)
I also LOL. I fly out of Fresno every week. I must have seen the same TSA agent there who told the lady in front of me the same thing, 'Two bags only.' She looped one handle through a second handle so she could carry the two bags in one hand and he let her through with no problem. Just one more loophole that we all need to learn. And, BTW, I learned that this guy (In Fresno at least), is not TSA, just hired by the airport to check ID's and look at boarding passes prior to us getting into the security line.
