IMHO, the CLE security staff is especially bad.

I've often had to wait to pass through security there while security staff memebers resolve issues by yelling at each other (not yelling because of malice, but because of the effects of hearing loss). These guys are like the Keystone Kops; not surprised they couldn't keep track of the passenger they were trying to inspect.

O, and a year ago, before passing through the metal detector at CLE I dropped a bunch of items in the hands of a security guard. I realized on the plane that the securuty guard gave me back all the items I had handed him except the waterman pen I recevied from my wife as part of the gifts I received from her when we got married.
