Given the fact that the current companies don't mind hiring felons, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if she was holding you up so that one of her fellow thugs could steal your laptop. And that's why she started screaming, because you foiled her plan.

In fact, I ignored the woman and picked up my PC and put it in my PC bag. Then her "colleague" showed up as she responded the woman's screaming and took my PC out the bag and placed it on the conveyor again. She threatened me by saying she would call a cop if I do not proceed to the search area immediately. I was fully searched, but my jacket, PC, suitcase, and PC bag were unsearched and left alone at the X-ray gate area. If my colleague was not there, I would not have known what could happen to my PC.

We definitely need some minimum standards. They should not back down at all about the requirements for a high school diploma or the equivalent and US citizenship.</font>
I am not sure about the citizenship status, but absolutely some minimum standards should be required. Terrorists are smart - how could these morons compete against terrorists?
Not to mention, they do not need to be that arrogant and nasty - sometimes they misunderstand as if they are given supreme power and authorities.
Travel and Air Industry Association (or something) have shown some TV campaign - we have brought you back safe sky, so travel more! - Every time I see these airport security people, I just feel the association needs to work with airport autorities to do major clean-up. Tightened security won't be brought by hiring a bunch of morons.
Another sigh...
