I told her that I knew the drill after many flights. She actually used the term "Nit-Wits" to describe the people going through security. She said no matter how much they tell people to have their liquids in the baggie, they don't listen. I explained the story about how our white honey was taken away at OGG because my husband, behaving like a Gomer thought it was food and put it in my carry-on. She said that was nothing compared to what some idiots have in theirs. She said it was like talking to a bunch of babies.

This told me what they think of us, the flying public. I have a feeling that the Barking has more to do with the things she said about us, the flying public than trying to help people understand the ever changing rules.

She didn't seem to bad talking to her one on one, but as I said in another post, it's when you get them in a group that they turn into Jekyll and Hyde.
