What makes TSA so sensitive to this?
Coming home from Israel in May I noticed that the security agents were all friendly and professional while I was waiting to have my bags x-rayed prior to checking in with LH. Nothing 'officious' about them, just doing a careful job as they've (I'm sure) been trained to do. TSA could learn a lot by talking to Israeli security. I didn't have any trouble with them.
