I was flying out of HNL a while ago and this jackass tried to grab my laptop out of the gray x-ray box. Said he was "just trying to help".

I just about tackled him. (It was actually a gov't laptop so I was err.. rather protective of the contents (nothing classified)). I was, I admit, loud in saying "TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY PROPERTY!" And the TSA screener and standby cop intervened in about one second flat.

I calmed down as soon as they did, but I was really surprised by how quickly I flared.

And that made me realize, I can't be the first person to be in this situation.

Anyone else have a similar experience?
