On the other end, I have a set routine -- I slide my laptop into the already opened pocket, put my freedom baggie in another already opened pocket, and grab my shoes so I can get out of the way.

This morning, some nasty woman started barking at me to get my stuff off the rollers and onto the table so I don't "hold up the line." I already had three of my four objects already off and was reaching for the fourth when she grabbed the bin and slid it out of my reach. *****.

Then I get to DCA and as I'm walking out, all I can hear is a few TSOs barking, braking, and barking at the long line entering the terminal A area. I could feel my blood pressure rise.

Why don't they just shut the hell up already?
According to Bart, his management thinks its doing a service by having the barkers there to help "speed" things along. Philosophy might vary from airport to airport though.
