Well, as usual, I wonder what times you are flying through the same airports I travel through. Except for the bit about the inspectors goofing around when not behind the x-ray machine, I just don't recognize your description of the airport security lines I fly through.
I wonder, do you have experiences at Jiffy Lube, Wal-Mart, and Starbucks that are similar to what you experience at the TSA checkpoint?
